Default Rain Leaking Through My Window

Hey guys I've got a 03 base and live in rainy Oregon. Well, Yesterday as I was driving through some pretty bad rain I noticed that some seekage was coming through my passenger side. Right above my tweeter. However, after taking a look at it I noticed a puddle of water under my passenger seat. I was just curious if you guys think it might just be my window seals? or could it be something else? I definately need to get this fixed as it's going to continue to rain even harder. How much would something like this repair cost to fix? Any input would be awsome!

Look at the top outside corners of the windshield to see it the weather strip seals are cracked/shrunken/missing. The normal causes of leaks (door seals, door aliment leaks through the firewall) usually only manifest on one side or other. If the windshield has been replaced at one time or other this can be a common problem. (Leak on both sides.)

Thanks for the info! it seems to only be leaking from the passenger side so I really hope its just the weather strips. Have any Ideas on how I can dry out some of the water? I really hope it doesnt cause any mold over night. I was thinking about bringing it to nissan to take a look at it, but there's also an autoglass shop around here that replaces weather strips or would you recommend just taking it to nissan?
