Default Windshield Leaking

Cant seem to stop or find the leak. It drips into my A-pillar and out my boost controller. Ive tried filling the windshield channel with silicone to no avail. Any tips on re-sealing the windshield?

I'm sure you checked, however, I'll ask. Did you check the three utters on the drivers side used to drain the windshield sump. Look at this thread.

Not sure if the previous owner had it replaced. Ive had the car 5 years and it just started leaking this winter.

The reason I asked about the windshield is often times, the reveal molding along the pillar is not replaced during the windshield replacement. This part creates the seal and should always be replaced.
