At wits end with leaking windscreen. After 4 or 5 attempts by windscreen supply company to rectify a leak, which is confined to passenger side corner of windscreen, and having used a new windscreen mould, the leak is still there. Has anyone experienced a similar problem. The problem seems to originate when water is applied to the centre bottom part of the windscreen.

My experience is that once a screen starts leaking it is very hard to fix without taking the whole thing out and doing it again.
The problem being that water gets in in one place and then runs along inside the rubber and gets out where it finds an opening.
The place where the water gets in could be nowhere near the leak site.

When you say you have used a new windscreen mould, do you mean the rubber or the stainless mould? If it is a new rubber, I would suggest that when doing the install, they haven't used enough sealer  between the rubber and body if the water is coming from between the rubber and body which would require the whole thing to come out and be refitted as Ken has said. But if the water is coming from between the glass nod rubber then more sealer can be gunned in and should fix the problem. This is what I do for a living so it's a pity you are on the other side or I could have checked it out for you.

Thanks for the feedback on windscreen, the windscreen was actually replaced prior to the Tassie nationals, and since then there have been five attempts to fix it, including taking it out again. You may be correct, water played on the corner where it is leaking is fine, but played at about bottom centre of screen starts it off again.
By mould I did mean rubber seal, which was sourced from Sydney. Oh well, its going back in again next week for another go and another rubber seal. Hopefully by the time we head east for Toowoomba it will be fixed.
