I had exactly the same thing and used silkaflex, it's a marine sealant/bonding compound and can be over painted. I've also used on boats and it's a superb (although it only comes in a few colours so I used black).
One other thing, check the seam between the sides and rear panels above the tub (next to the windows). I did my tub/sides and then found the water was also leaking in there and running along the inside of the tub, appearing at the low point depending how I parked. PITA to track down until I stripped out the inside and used the hose pipe, now been completely dry for almost a year. |

It is more than Likley coming from the rivets under the window! Yes I know I said rivets
 my thoughts also. 
I bought a rivet gun £10 ish and a pack of blind closed rivets of eBay, and a tube of tiger seal. Drilled out the old rivets, very easy, applied new rivets with tiger seal and no problems since 
Whole job took me about 1 hour, I was dreading it but actually thoroughly enjoyed it

Well that's not ideal!
Think I might have to whip the plastic off and trace where the waters coming from before coming to a conclusion in that case seems it could be one of a few things! Hopefully not the rivets because it's on both sides of the vehicle! We shall see I suppose  |

9/10 times it's the foam seal between the side panel and the tub, as said any good quality silicone sealer will do the trick

IF it is the foam seal it's always worth checking the hardtop securing bolts and the little bracket midway along the tub to roof join for tightness. Steve.
