Re: [DML] Fixed side window seal



October '81 (#4687, early in the month I think), RTV.
No wonder it leaks in heavy Houston rain.

The other seals around the fixed window are also
problematic. I took 'er through a touchless carwash
last week for the first time. Boy was I surprised at
the drips from the windows.
I guess I'll have to do all new seals, all the way
around.
