P.S. after all my hijinx (including the temp silicone fixes) the interior is now dry.

Ugh rainy season again...and BOTH the bus and beetle are leaking from the right lower windshield seal. Silicone fixed the bus (fixed yes) but the beetle needs the windshield removed and shimmed with stereo wire.
It's a job I can't do alone, is there anyone out there in Portland that can spare an afternoon and lend a hand? The glove-box keeps filling up with water. FUN. Please let me know. All the expired ham you can eat, and canned beer from the 80s.
Basically all I have to do is remove the beetle windshield, shim with wire, and replace. I'll probably just get a new seal for ease of replacement.
