John, I hope I didn't offend you with my " no silicone comments. That was
not my intention. Silicone is a bodyman's nightmare. In any form, spray or
adhesive in a tube in can cause major trouble to the guy that is doing a
repaint. It gets into the pores of the metal and defys you to get it out.
Then after painting it will cause flaws and lifting. The guy that does my
paint work has a fit if he sees silicone in my building. I would suggest
using Urethane winshield sealant instead to stop your leaks around the seal.
And only new metal should be used to repair the rust holes.
FWIW
Mike

p.s. I know that my front & rear glass used to leak, and now they don't,
and
it only took a thin bead of silicone to seal it, so you might have a hard
time convincing me that I've made anything any worse. The next time those
pieces of glass come out will hopefully be the next time that the car gets
painted, and it will be stripped down for that. I'm not worried about
getting the silicone off. The paint under it will be coming off too.
