    Any high temperature contact adhesive for the window channels. I used Dum-dum sealer (UK) for the quarterlight glass as it is black, mildly adhesive, but never quite sets hard, so it is possible to get the glass out again if needed. If you use any silicone based sealant my concern would be removal if ever necessary. I think you'd break the glass - it is hard enough to get them out as it is!

    Thanks Mick- this adhesive/caulking would sit between the seal and the frame of the quarter window so it would not touch glass. Just looking for something that won't lump up and is relatively clean to use. I'll look into your suggestion- thanks again!

    3M always seem to make the best adhesives.

    If you're speaking of the rear quarter glass seal, and the window channel for the door window, then my answer is none, in both cases.
