Windshield leak issues

Any advice on windshield leak issues. Got a new windshield with new weather stripping. That reduced the leak tremendously but still not 100% . Was thinking about using butyl tape

How are your A-pillar seams and cowl drains and cowl itself?

If you bothered to state the year of your van that would have been more helpful.

My 89 E150 leaked in the vent below the windshield, drain plugged up, the trapped water rushed the gutter over the heater box, my 99 E350, different body style, the A-pillar, and the gutter will leak, water directs down the pillar, pools in the floor, my passenger floor, I had to tear out the insulation under it to prevent saturation causing rust, can't reach the gutter to repair it, no help nor money to get it done, these are your places to look when you have a leak, it ain't always the windshields fault.
