The first thing I noticed in your photo was the screws, which on my 42 Custom 
were the main sources of leaks.  Per the SOP from this list, I eliminated the 
screws and screw holes by replacing each lens.  With the lens removed, I 
cleaned up the cavities first using a putty knife to remove old sealant then 
using wire brushes, shop rags, and acetone.  I also filled the screw holes with 
an epoxy mixture.  Once the holes were filled and the cavity was fully clean, I 
applied 3M double-sided tape and put each replacement lens in place using the 
“tape hinge” method.  After that, the Dow 795 is used.  My windows haven’t 
leaked since (10 years or so).
