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".
