Default Soaking wet

Hello fellow members. I have a problem with my 2003 Z-06. It appears as though a previous owner has replaced the windshield. Although they purchased the correct glass to support the heads up display, the job was done poorly. I have a really nice leak that drips down the drivers side a-pillar and then on to the floor, and the same on the passenger side also. I took the car to the dealer and they sent me to the glass shop which turned me away due to the fact the trim for the windshield was discontinued. I don't even know what parts I need to do a search. If any one can give me a hint at what I need and where to get it that would be awesome.

Even at $185 i say that is a bargain if it solves your problem. So $115 sounds real nice!
