Depends on how long "not right now is". If it's a few months, go with Chuck's
suggestion of duct tape. If it's a year or two, you can pull the windshield
and grind all the nasty stuff out. Then, pull the dash completely out and POR
15 the seal area inside and outside. Then lay fiberglass cloth on the inside
of the windhsield area and paint with more POR 15. After all that gets good
and hard, use POR 15 Straight Line bondo and smooth out the outside of the seal
area. I would say this is the next best fix to replacing the front clip. Plus
it's somethig you can do yourself.

I used the fliberglass cloth and POR 15 to repairs holes in the floor of Sparky
and Krusty and it's as hard as the steel floorboard once it's cured. The
Straight Line sticks to POR 15.
Good luck.

I can't afford a new front clip right now.
And if I could afford a new front clip I couldn't afford the labor to
have a good body shop weld it in.
Suggestions for a "hold me over"?
Pump silicone in until it squirts out the other side?
Make a JB Weld putty and stuff it in there then prime and silicone over
it?
The pictures don't really do it justice. I can't even pull the
windscreen to replace the super-hard old seal at this point, I'm fairly
certain I wouldn't be able to get it back in.
I'm thinking JB Weld to provide a bit of support to keep the windshield
from popping out somewhere down the road.
