Apparently my quest to find and fix all my water leaks has not been as fruitful as I hoped. We've had nonstop rain for 4-5 days here. I guess now water is getting in again. Its on the passenger side up high in the corner of the dash, near the windshield.

Could it be the windshield seal?

How do you fix this?

Thanks
 
Could be the seal.
If so, unless you find a small chunk gone, its usually a waste of time to use RVT silicone or stuff like that.
You are probably going to have to pull the windshield and put in a new gasket.
But, if you do, don't necessarily expect it to go well. It is real common to find rusted out holes under the gasket that will have to be dealt with before a new gasket will work.

But, you need to be sure of where the leak is. The best way, is dry it out, put someone in the car watching where the wet is, and let someone else give quick squirts with a hose on various suspicious spots.

Do it slowly. Spray a spot, wait a while. It might take the water a couple of minutes to work its way in.

Check any and all seams. where the roof is welded on, gutters over doors if yours has them, anywhere it could get in.
