Radar arch water intrusion

I'm sure like most, if you have a radar arch you find water getting in it. The obvious is any wire holes for lights, antenna, radar, etc
the other sneaky spot is at the forward joint to the hull at the side window joint. It is caulked from the factory, but only the 'outside' of the joint. Water running thru the glass frame has a direct shot under the arch at that joint. Pic attached shows the joint cleaned of external caulk. Remove all caulk, clean and reseal BUT only seal the gap on the inside and at the arch/hull joint leaving a water path outside.
