Default Bonded

The screen is bonded for sure, that is why it has the black pattern around the edges. This keeps the UV light away from the bonding material. You will also see that eg around bonded retrovision mirrors.
If the dampness smells and tastes sweet, it is very likely coolant, so the heater valve or matrix is the culprit.
If it smells like screen wash fluid it could very well be the wash wipe feed line as already suggested.
If it is just water, then it could be the a blocked AC drain or rain water coming in somewhere. I think a leaking screen is very unlikely, but still possible. The leak will be in the bonding material, the rubber in the pictures is irrelevant. Also check the rubber transit just below the bonnet lock, that is where I found the cause of my damp carpet.
