Hi Paul,
A mastic sealant is a far better solution than silicone for glazing rubbers - most
of the silicone sealants I've experinced bond so well to both glass and rubber that
they make any future dismantling a complete nightmare, plus of course the problem of
remaoving all silicone traces for any future paintwork. Motor factors in the UK sell
professional windscreen mastics, however I've used roofing mastic with excellent
results - one car in particular lived outside for 5 years with the windscreen sealed
this way without any leaking. I don't know about the specific installation of the GT6
tailgate glass, but it's never been a problem getting the tip of a mastic cartridge
under the seal where it meets the glass in similar applications.
Cheers,
Bill.
