Default I'm an idiot!!! The solution...

Well, it was raining a little today and the weatherstripping really doesn't leak that bad. In fact, it is just responsible for 1% of all the rain water leaking in the car. In fact, it was the stupid windshield!! So I got my brand new, best of the best Silicone II tube out, popped it in the caulk gun and caulked it all over the edges of the windshield. It took about an hour to cure and viiiiooooolllllaaaaa... no more wet seats and carpet!! Still it rained a bit and I don't have to wipe myself every 5 minutes of driving in wet weather!! I need a beer!!

Glad to hear that you'll be driving when you're dry.

I was an idiot thinking it was purely leaking from the weatherstripping. But then when I was parked and saw it drip from directly above the windshield, I was like, WTF.

Nothing idiotic about making some observations and fixing the problem.
