I had the same problem. I had my rear window sealed by an auto glass shop. It still leaked then I had them seal my third brake light. Still leaked. I ran water over my truck with a hose and the water was coming through a body seam above my extended cab window. I caulked it with black silicone and it hasn't leaked since. It doesn't look great but my truck sits high enough you can't really see it.

The guy I took my truck to said the butyl stuff was crap and they use urethane. Best bet would be to have someone seal it for you. Or try to find some urethane windshield adhesive.
