Default Re-sealing rear window

Time to re-seal the rear window of the '75. Should I buy the 1/4" thick stuff from the "Corvette only" suppliers or use the standard, pressure sensitive seal tape in 1/4"?
Thanks

I went to a class installer the other day on my 75.

He had the black 1/4 stuff in a roll. It worked Ok but it really moves the rear glass away from the body around the glass to muck. More or less it moves the glass away from the body by a 1/4 inch. He had liquid seal he said that would be better.

The 1/4 stuff cost me 10.00 for the roll and the liquid sealer was 26.00
I be going with the liquid seal after she comes back from paint.
