Man, don't use silicone. If you guys spent a week or two with me doing resto
work, you would never pick up another tube of silicone. I have spent many
hours digging that crap out of every imaginal part of an old car. Rebedding
a window is not hard. And butyl rubber is cheap stuff and the right way to
stop the leaks. I have made package trays from thin sheet fiberglass and
covered it with fabric from Walmart that look good and will last forever.
You can get shower enclosure fiberglass panels from Home Depot or Lowes.

Try jamming some black silicone under the moldings. Cut a very small hole
in
the tip of the tube so you can sort of inject it and not have it going all
over the place. Use masking tape on both sides of the seam so you get a
clean line, and be as neat as you possibly can with it. You'll need to
take
the tape off before the silicone dries. I had to do this on mine because
my
body guy did such a great job of reinstalling my glass. Front & back both
leaked to the extent that I could see the water dripping into the cabin,
and
now it's fine. If all you end up with is a thin black bead right in the
crease where the molding meets the body and the glass it will look fine,
as
long as you don't have a points car, which it sounds like you don't (no
offense, me either). Fabricating a special package tray is like the tail
wagging the dog.

More appropriate maybe but definitely not easier :)

I think it would be easier for you to just fix the leaky window. It's
going
to have to get fixed anyway.
