Default Water Leaking Down A-Pillar 00 Honda Civic

Hi everyone I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have water dripping down the A-Pillar every time it rains, at first it was both the driver and passenger side now it’s just the driver side???
If there is a thread on this please let me know
thank you in advance 👍🏾


This is the passenger side but same place on the driver side (It’s not allowing me to upload the second photo)

Seals failing in the roof rails. Remove the plastic trim bits, get some proper 3M body sealant (not just silicone) and go to town.

Edit: *Remove the plastic trim bits that line the roof rails!

Why not get it from the outside. If you get it from the inside its just gonna create a pool.

I’m not attempting to do it from the inside
I’m wondering where it’s coming from on the outside

Yeah. If that wasn't clear, the roof rails trim is what I'm stating needs to be removed. Underneath there is where the sealant goes.
