Any good fixes for the leaking rear window on W123 short of gasket replacement?

Hi guys,

I fully-realize that the definitive fix for a leaking rear (or front) windshield is to replace the gasket with a genuine MB gasket. I know. This is my 3rd W123, and I've replaced the gaskets before.

Having said that, have you guys found a good temp fix until there is enough money and energy to replace the gasket(s)?

I just picked up a (new to me) 240D, and my wallet needs to lick it's wounds for awhile before I can afford to replace gaskets.

In the past, I've put a bead of RTV windshield sealer around the rear window to try and fix things.

The main symptom right now is that water is leaking into the trunk by dripping down the corners of the rear windshield.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Packman
