My '84 did the same thing but on the passenger side.  My wife notices it on
her feet :) while bringing if back from Virginia last year.  We kind of
chuckled because my parent '73 westy did the same thing.  I bought a new
seal from GoWesty, had it installed with a sealer/caulk as described in the
Bently and problem solved.  FYI, I followed suggestions of having this done
profesionally and the folks at Speedy Autoglass broke my old windshield
putting it back in so I had to fork out $$$ for a new windshield as they
did not guarentee they would not break it.  Found out latter from the
person insalling it that his helper pushed too hard and cracked it,
ARGHH!!  So if you go this route you might want to ask around and get
someone who has a good referal.  I have done these myself on a Bug without
too much difficulty but definetly a two person job.
