Seal the corners on the offending side, glass to rubber and rubber to frame.

PS only use windscreen sealer rather than any silicone based product.

As above, but only a temp repair.

One day soon, best to get the screen out and fix the rust that is sure to hiding behind the rubber !

iirc, there is a "how to" somewhere on here, poss in the wiki.

Skanky,
I hope you use the advise I gave when you asked for a solution to a known problem. My suggestions are based on a logical elimination process of doing something rather than nothing .

What I am saying is check out the cheaper options of any fix before getting involved removing screens etc etc.......
