Default water leak into interior

I'm still working to stop water leaking into the cockpit. I have replace the windshield, weatherstripping. and the weatherstipes on the side of the windows. I noticed that the weatherstrips at the sides of the front window do not adhere to the windsheild. What should I use to make this a tighter seal the the window? Thanks for any help or other suggestions on how to stop water leaking into the interior.

When I was at the local car show here this summer, 3 of the 4 C3's there had apparently had the windshield caulked in all around the trim. I'm betting theres a better way to do it tho...
