I like zertrider's fix. It has been added to my '06 Voyage list of thing to do.
Currently, I have my windshield leak fixed by sealing the black rubber strip to the windshield and to the fiberglass cap. I also sealed the joints between the vertical rubber strip and the horizontal strips.
Earlier this spring I pulled the front TV and associated metal box out. This gave me a clear view to the inside of the front cap. I could see a rusted section above the left windshield. The right windshield looked okay. I could also see the back side of the clearance light areas. There was no sign of leaking there.
Since some have talked about clearance light leakage, I pulled these lights out anyway. My light's gaskets were severely deteriorated. At the bottom of each clearance light is a weep hole. Good gaskets or not, wind could force rain up behind the clearance lights thru these weep holes. The wires for the clearance lights are routed thru ~1" holes in the fiberglass cap. These holes were plugged with loose fitting Styrofoam plugs. I sealed any possible gap between the plugs, wires and cap with some exterior latex caulk.
Hopefully, this clearance light discussion makes sense.
