Is there a sure fire way to repair a leak from the WS?
I have used the flashlight but cant pinpoint where it is coming from.
Trying silicone/WS repair is not helping at this point.
Do I need to have the WS removed and resealed?
Anyone else had any probs like this in the past?
Any help is much appreciated.
TIA, Joseph

How do you know it is coming from your windshield? Could it be coming from the heater box?

I have seen this before, Depending on the condition of your windshiled
either have it replaced or resealed.
Spending a lil money gettin that fixed is way better then a rusted hole in the floorboard from the leak

Too late for the rusted hole, small hole near gas pedal and small hole near backseat drivers drain plug. At this point I am trying to figure out if the leak is from the windshield seal or rust around the pillar area. I already have the seats, carpet, headliner and all the trim out. Just cant pinpoint where it is originating from. Thanks, Joseph.

my brother owns a windshield / glass company, and many times he has seen when he pulls the windshild, the owner, sees the rust.. takes the car to a body shop to be repaired before he installs the new windshield

Thanks to all. I was afraid of that, if the rust is what is going on. Dont even want to think how much it would cost to fix it right and for good. Oh well, put it on the list and find a few more pennies.
