I agree that the rust at the corner of the windshield is the likely culprit here. A first-class repair will require removal of the windshield, sheet metal repair, and replacement of the glass, although you may be able to get by with applying RTV at both the glass/gasket and gasket/body interfaces.

It's worth noting that there are other common causes of wet floor syndrome in 240s. You might review:

There are lots of other discussions in the archives too.
