The problem is that water WILL get in based on the original design and you will get rust. The idea is to seal is so well more water can't get in. Just seal it after it has sat in the hot sun long...

It's not pretty. I got a 2" x 10' roll of white EternaBond and slit at 3/4 and 1 1/4. 2" seemed too wide. Slitting it and installing it neatly and straight is almost impossible, as evidenced by my...

As expected, the glass guy said the problem was with a rusty pinch weld (presumably where the vertical and horizontal channel came together) that could only be fixed by a body shop. He gooped it up...
