John, I'm not sure of all the negative effects of silicone to paint and body
work, but I do know that professional body men seem in agreement that it is
bad news. Have you noticed the high end car waxes are advertising "no
Silicone" on their labels? There is a message in that somewhere. Maybe one
of the P & B guys on the list could tell us exactly wherein lies the problem
with silicones.

I'm not offended at all. Are you saying that silicone can get through the
paint & primer and into the pores of the metal? I would not have expected
it
to be quite that tenacious. I also don't have it in the window channel at
all. It's only where the moldings meet the body & the glass, so I didn't
expect it to be that hard to get rid of. Thanks for the tip about the
urethane sealant. I had never heard of that.

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

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.
