What have you tried so far?

Remove plastic trim and sunvisor,you may need windscreen taken out and
resealed, just a guess

Only place it can be coming in at is at the top of the windscreen.

It can be 1 of two things, 1 its had a new screen and not sealed correct or 2 it is rusting wound the edge of the screen and is letting in water that way.
