Default Windscreen Water leak... Any past advice?

Hello all. I have a water on the top left hand corner of the windscreen (99 model). It seems to come in above the sun visor and also down the side of the glove box. Have tried pouring water down the outside channel and its either blocked or it’s just finding it way in anyway. Tried unblocking with a bit of wire and sealing the opening of the channel with rubber sealant to no avail! It’s been suggested that it’s best now to take out the windscreen and rebond it. Anyone else had this problem and tried that solution?

Thanks.......................

Its common on replacement windscreens, so yours probably was replaced at some time back and wasnt bonded 100%

As above mate, sounds like you need to remove and refit the glass. If you push on the inside of the windscreen does it move??
