Sounds as if it's time to replace the windshield seal & fix the rust that's
probably all over the place underneath.  (Other seals may be bad too--poke
around a little)  I had this same problem on the Camper (Frau Blucher) and
from various horror stories I'd heard about removing the windshield
oneself, I had a body shop do the seal & fix the rust, which was extensive.
$300+ a bit if memory serves correctly.  If you don't catch this it can
turn into a real mess, with the metal shot & water leaking between the
layers of the glass, turning it milky around the edges.
