Thanks John,
I'm ok with that all that (and I realize the sealer today is mostly urethane), but unless you apply more than 3/16" bead, there's going to be nothing at all at the lip of the seal (where it meets the cab body. I tried this with a section of old weatherstrip and 3/16 will barely fill the top part of the rabbet ledge. So a lot of space remains to harbor water, dust, dirt, leaves, whatever. Do you think (with today's sealer) that going back and running more under the gasket makes sense? Also if you started in 1975 then I'm certain you remember the applicator used to seal the rubber to the glass...the little oil-gun looking thing with the duck bill flat nozzle that fit between the glass and rubber. Are those still around today?
