Help with a water leak!

I have a water leak in the cab... water drips from the top of the windshield on my right leg. I had the widshield resealed but still the water pours in. I replaced the gaskets on the clearence lights and still the water pours in! Any ideas where it might be coming from?

I replaced the windshield on my '84 F-150. The new one started leaking a couple of weeks after the replacement. The shop that installed it pulled it back out, cleaned it up, and re-sealed it back into the frame. It still leaked. Turns out that the channels over the doors had rusted (!) and the water was coming in there. I siliconed the channels. No more water.

One other thing, the windshield I replaced was the original. There was no sealer on it in a 10" area above the heater box. Hmmm.

Thanks for the tip... never thought about that as a source of a leak. This weekend when I am home I will check that out.
