Help With Water Leaking Inside

I need some help! I have been looking all over the place for a water leak I have inside my C3. I have new carpet that I want to install but won't until I get this leak fixed

Yesterday, after a hard rain.. I found it.. I had a drop of water hanging from my rearview mirror...

Question... What seal is this water getting by to leak at the mirror?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Sounds like the t-tops seals or metal piece down the center the t-tops seal too.

A simple solution is get black ribbon caulk from NAPA/etc and put around your windshield between the stainless and window. Also, could use same caulk for "open spaces" on top.

The seals on the T-top itself?

Either the seals themselves or I don't know the correct name of the piece, but it is the chrome center piece that the tops seal to. it the front by the windshield it may be letting water in where it attaches to the other metal pieces that seal the tops along the winshield
I found one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...m200223431460&
I had a 77 the leaked along the windshield
