To add to Erik's post, the windscreen leak is almost certainly down to the flange, that's used to seat the windscreen seal, rusting out in the corners. If caught early a repair is not too difficult. Any repair, after final fishing, needs to be as close as possible the same as the original in looks and dimensions. Any short cuts here will compromise how a new rubber fits and seals You won't know how bad it is until you remove the screen and rubber. Look up under the dash in the corners. Rusty water trails will confirm the problem but not its severity. The anodised aluminum trims are cosmetic and do not improve the seal.
