I'm trying to figure out if adhesive/sealant is required between the rubber gaskets and the metal edge of the corner windows, back window and front window.
I've searched here and looked in my manuals with no luck. Still fighting with the door window sweeps, but that's an entirely different problem! As usual 1 step forward-2 (sometimes 4) steps back!
Thanks
Jeff

I was always pretty sure a duck's butt was waterproof, as they don't sink, but frogs don't float as well as ducks do.

Thanks so much for the answers, just what I was hoping for! Even the frog's butt was a great analogy !
Thanks again

As far as ducks go, I don't like them. They are fowl...
