Could this be the source of water leaking by windshield?

The last rain we had, I went down and checked, 100% DRY!!. Thank gawd. Hopefully ive gotten it all. The last little leak I had was coming from the lower screw that held the parking brake cable/handle. I just put some RTV in the hole and built it up and then just put the bracket and screws back in and no water leaking.

The fuse panel leaks were either the windshield and/or the seam seals in the cowling area. I addressed both these issues at one time. I got some nasty windshield Urethane and sealed up the gasket to body and then gasket to glass and put the lace strip back in. I then got some seam sealant and coated the cowling area where the factory stuff was. I had a couple cracks in the old sealant and then I made sure there was no leaves or obstructions keeping water from just running.

This has all seemed to work, so here's hoping. lol
 
So glad I found this thread, we just had 2 days of bad rain here in NE Pa, and I came out to find water puddled on the the floor at the base of the firewall where it meets the kick panels and the floor... I'm so glad I didn't put carpet back in this truck!!!! I might not have found it right away. It's just upsetting, I already have a huge amount of time and money invested in rust repair, I hope this isn't opening another can of worms...
