But mine was nowhere near as severe as what you are describing.

My first attempt was with black caulking from the auto parts store. It is not non hardening and it was a total waste of time and money.
That is what happened to me in the rear of the car. I was getting a slow leak on the right side of the window that was pooling in the wheel well. I resealed the entire window gasket. I'm kinda ashamed of my job, but it worked almost too well. No leak, but water still pools in the tiny divot between the window and the gasket.
