Default leaky 77

Hi Guy's
We have recently purchased a 77 coupe for my wife as a daily driver. It has the usual problems including water leaking onto the drivers & passengers floors. I started by installing a new windshied & resealing it . followed by new piller & door weatherstripping. The screens are clear in the cowl area. It seems to be leaking from every bonding area in the cowl,and dripping down to the floor. Does anybody know of a sealant I can brush on in that area? Somthing like a rubberised undercoating?
Thanks
Dave :confused:

In my cowl area I used a 3M seam sealer from NAPA. I did not use silicone because I wanted to paint the area. Remove all the loose stuff and reseal. Do a search and check the achives for more on this topic. Someone might have a better product. Good luck with your 77.
