i 've been doing it for about 20 years first time with my 51 caddy. sometimes i have had to do it after a new gasket is installed to seal it up.

I tried that already with black Sikaflex but it didn't seem to work. Now I see some of the Sika is degrading in the UV.
I was thinking silcone might be better. This car would be just fine w/ a slightly big and crude looking silicone enhanced window bushing.
My dad used silicone once on a mid 70s Mazda -- worked fine.
I'll try it. I discovered a leak today after a rain in the trunk right under the rear window. Don't know why I couldn't find that before.
