Your leak is between the galss and the metal frame that surrounds the glass. The "fix" is to remove the rusty metal frame around the glass, remove all of the rust, then primer and paint it black again. This is a multiday job, if the metal frame is any good.

I bought a replacement at Strandberg salvage yard, where I could pick from multiple SR's. I found one that had no rust and it workded for me.

MIJ, over on matthew's volvo site, took his apart, sanded and repainted, and then put on a new rubber weather strip using windshield glue. The factory glue was "green" for the environment, but only lasts about 5-7 years in the hot sun.
