Default Water leaking

1996 Ranger - Rain started getting in passenger side. I thought the windshield was leaking. I confirmed with colored water (and the carpet pulled back) the the path water took was AROUND the windshield. Starting from above the windshield, water works under the outer black gasket, runs down the sides and instead of all the water running off the side, some works its way back toward the firewall beneath the windshield. This is where the seal is failing. How do you get an effective seal under the windshield and above the firewall?

is the area big enough to get a small tube of silicone in? Just lay a bead of silicone.
