Angry Roof Leak (not sunroof)

The rubber on the roof towards my windshield has been pushed up somehow, and as I was in the carwash this evening, I was dripped on. Any ideas?

One, the cheesy/cheap way is to fill the gap with silicone sealant.

The second, expensive way is to take your car to an automotive glass shop and have them remove and reset the windshield.

my obs is having the same problem, it's leaking from the leading edge of the roof in the rain the headliner gets wet, it's only been doing i for about 4 days so i think that the extreme cold we've had set it off

i'm taking mine to a glass shop

I was more leaning to the idea, of putting 2x4's across my interior through the front windows, and the rear, and then draping a giant tarp over the whole thing. I'm leaning towards a bright blue one. Any thoughts?
