Default Water in large window

I recently resealed (Dicor) my 2009 2720QB front shell (except for A/C shroud as I ran out of time), but noticed I have water running down my large window (even after sealing) 1 day before departure. Quick solution was to remove old caulking and re caulk the exterior of the window, and I also added a rain gutter. Unfortunately, I still have a steady stream of water down the center of the large window during a rain event this week!

The only entry point I can think of is the A/C shroud (I also have droplets coming in the corner frame of the A/C on inside), traveling laterally and down the window. The luan board has some pop to it so need to get this taken care of ASAP.

Based on info from other posts and members knowledge, this is my plan but appreciate any pointers or experience dealing with this:

1. Remove A/C panel, tighten 4 bolts to 50 inch pounds (4.166 Ft lbs on my torque wrench)
2. Remove caulking and apply Dicor self leveling around A/C riser

If the above 2 steps don't do it, not sure what else would fix. Will update post as I finish key steps.
