96 Civic water leak in pillar
Looking for any suggestions on where else to look for a water leak that I dont have listed below
Car is a 1996 Civic 4 Door EX (Canadian model).
I have been battling water leaks for ages, finally tore down the dash to the fire wall and I believe I have it all sealed up. However I have just noticed a small leak where the two panels meet in the picture below (red circle).
i pulled the rain strip trim on the roof, no problems there all looks good with no rust. I have had the windshield just replaced in the last month, I don't think that's it but its in the running. The antenna would be more likely, but I removed and checked the seal and it looks good. I have another on order but apparently it may be a while as they are back ordered here.
Any other suggestions of where the water could be coming from that I'm missing?
Thanks!

No sun roof. Only Civics that came with Sun roofs in Canada in this era were the SI Coupe and the SiR Coupe. In a Sedan you had to pick up an Acura EL if you wanted a Sunroof.
I've been doing a bit more looking here. Even with the rain gutters in good shape with no rust, I'm wondering if they need to be resealed. I'm going to see if I can find some brush on clear sealant, swap the antenna gasket (when I can get my hands on one) and will see what fixes it.
Ill post back for future reference when I figure it out!

Update to this for anyone looking in the future. I found some very thin cracks along the sealant underneath the rain strip on the roof. I used some clear 3M sealer on them, and no more leak! Check your roof gutters!
