Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
It's been a couple decades, but I faced the same issue on my BJ8's
side windows. Maybe it wasn't Everseal, but it was the sticky
rubber, meant to be 'activated' by motor oil (supplied by 'the usual
suspect'). Long story short, it didn't hold (I think I still have a
roll of the stuff in my parts bin). I eventually used a
sealant--mostly likely Permatex Black Sealant/Adhesive, an RTV, my
usual go to--and it has held up all this time. My concern is getting
the glass out if I need to; I'm not sure what solvent would work on
RTV (acetone maybe). If you use just the right amount you will
squeeze a bit of excess above the channel and can trim it flush--or
angled--with a razor after it sets; being careful not to score the
glass.<br>
