The original installation didn't have a sealant, and those held for quite a few years. With reproduction rubber however, it may or may not do as good a job. If it were me I'd put in a small amount of sealant. Big gobs of sealant would make for a sloppy (lumpy?) looking install.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

08509 is a good product, used it lots. Not impossible to clean off if the window ends up being a re do someday.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
