Default Interior Water Leak

99 Corvette w/ a Targa top, I'm getting water dripping from behind the driver on the "B" column(?). In the attached pic, it's the black circle, on the inside. I'm wondering if it's coming from the rear roof weather stripping. Part #38949. Is there a way to test this? Also, what do you all suggest as a replacement? GMpartsdirect.com? www.corvettemods.com? Other??

Halo weatherstrip Very common cause of water leaks. Unfortunately the oem is discontinued. Have to go aftermarket.

Which one is the "halo" weather stripping? Is that the one I'm talking about?
