rw-
I found the same grey goop in copious amounts(and rust) when I replaced my rear window seal last year. So, I assume it was put there by the factory. And I think I used gas to remove it as well. I did not replace it , but my new seal leaks a bit at one corner, possibly because I did not perfectly center the glass. I have since added some non-silicone sealer to that area which seems to have stopped the leak. Be careful with that glass - it is awfully thin!
