I will check the hinge area, as Mine was parked nose-up for 6 weeks in the driveway. I did that so the trunk area wouldn't fill up around the lid like it does.
I DID find that my passenger side window seal had come out of the bead ( not damaged, but just popped out ), so I've fixed that. The driver's side moulding is broke in 2 pieces though, but it's been like that for years without issue.

The ZO6 has a very unique leak issue. The sealing compound that seals the roof to the windshield header/roof gutter trim, shrinks and cracks. When that happens, the water runs in from that area down the side of the windshield frame and into the car. If you remove the carpet, door sill trim and get inside while someone waters the car roof and windshield area, you will see the water drip from the A pillar area.
You have to remove the roof gutter trim and reseal that area. If one side is bad, BOTH SIDES ARE!.

Wouldn't a quicker fix be to put black GE Silicone 2 caulk in the problem/leaking areas (such as in the entire gutter/rail, under the front windshield seal, or elsewhere)?

It's waterproof, removable if needed, flexible, won't shrink, and has a 50 year life.
Having the same issue as many others here.
