leaking windshield
I have some leaking in my windshield ( newly installed...thought I had done it right 
).
Can I correct this from the interior , filling between the seal and the metal frame lip surface (the surface pointing to the exterior of the car, not visible on the picture) along the yellow arrows?

You would usually like to stop the leak before it runs around to the inside.
I've shot sealer in the corners of my midyear coupe from the OUTSIDE and it cleared up some leaks - no downside to trying it...
Pry the rubber molding away from the glass and inject some sealer into the trouble areas..

Better to fix the leak from the outside. Once water gets inside, no telling how far besides the drip area it might travel and settle in place along the windshield support frame ( I.e. rust).

And yes, I should have done that before mounting the moldings, shortcuts are expensive
