Default Soft top leak

Whats up guys, my soft top window seals have been gaining water when it rains. I have tried SHIN-ETSU grease multiple times letting it soak in for days then wiping the excess but this time it seems that the water is coming in from the corner of the windshield frame. upon previous inspection i have noticed that there is little foam pieces that are stuffed in the corners to bulk them up. i am thinking about adding some more foam in to there to maybe help it seal better.

Can you not replace the seals all together?

@MrFunk the seals get expensive and in my case i figured thats not my problem, my problem is the window frame seal on the corners. and now that i have added an extra piece of foam that is equivalent in size to the one that was already in there it has seemed to seal better over the past few rain storms. i a happy with my findings, my seats are no longer wet and there is minimal water in the window seals which i peel back and wipe down after rain storms.
