Looking through a couple excellent write ups on side window installation, and everybody recommends the 3M window weld.
Cheapest I found it was ~$18 plus $5 shipping. Seems like a lot of money to run a couple beads. Any body use plain ole window caulk? If so, how did it hold up? |

It is the same for both the rear window and the front. It's just butyl rubber, made specifically for this application. I found no reference in the maintenance manual calling out 3M.
It actually calls out "SOLBIT TWS" 8mm manufactured by Bostik "or similar". |
