1991 Ranger front / rear major water leak

Hi! So I bought my truck back in November of last year and I've noticed during rain, in a car wash, or when there's a lot of dew on my car in the mornings, the headliner along the edge of the front and rear windshields is soaked, sometimes the front so soaked it drips at a constant rate. I've tried to seal the side rails on my roof (at the behest of my step-father) no avail. I was hoping to find a solution other than replacing the entire windows or paying someone to reseal them just to find it wasn't that. Thanks!

My '91 did the same thing in the front by the windshield. I put a dab of silicone right where the rain gutter meets the windshield/A pillar. The soft compound that they had in the gutter was barely cracked there causing the leak. You can also pull the trim off around the windshield and check the urethane to see if it's leaking around there. IRRC, you pull on the plastic trim in the corner and then can slide it out away from the clips but it's been about 18 years so my memory is a bit foggy!
