i have to install a stationary automotive window soon... and seal up an existing windshield that leaks like crazy (looks like it was a home install with crappy hardware store sealant... i have found some cancer holes in my window channel because of it....

what can i use? where can i get it? i thought about hardware store, but that jsut has clear and white silicone type stuff for house windows....

ideally i am looking for really pliable, awesome, black stuff like some oem i have seen, but i want it to dry, not stay sticky

I just went down to the local windshield/auto glass and asked if I could buy a tube from them.

Even the automotive paint places carry it (urethane window sealer).  Word of caution though that stuff is messy and a real PITA to put on. I did mine before and the gun was a major chore to squeeze the trigger (I guess cuz the stuff is thick and I did mine in the summer when it was warm  :shake:) I wondered  :headscratch: how the glass guys used this stuff until I recently had a windshield installed in my mom's Honda....you'll like this  :talkingn: ....his caulking gun was electric... :smack:  :thud:
