Default Dreaded windshield buzz fix?

I understand the problem and I have it.

Not sure of what needs caulking.

Is it the cowl against the glass or even bottom of '"A" pillar?

I messed it up the first time with the caulk, took some time to clean up too.

My problem seems to be any downward pressure on the cowl piece almost puts the rubber/plastic under the window edge. Kinda of slim pickings for adhesion.

I would love to see some pics of this DIY project.

I am thinking I will have to add something in the area to help with surface contact, filling the void so to speak.

I know this should be easy but I am really stumped...which is not unusual with my mechanical aptitude qualities.

Thanks for any help.

Car is out of warranty.

My cowling was cracked on the right side. Replaced under warranty.

Thanks I have seen all this already, actually posted in the second thread.

None of it addresses my concerns.
