Default Window Dressing a 75'

I was wondering if it would be a good thing to run a bead of clear silicone around the back glass in my vette... There is seemingly a somewhat large gap in there and I have noticed a bit of water getting into the center of my box space...

Sorry if I am stoopid or asking someone elses questions... but I am new to the love and you guys can probably expect to see alot more of my questions...

Thanks
Spook

The only stupid question is the one that goes un-asked.

You could apply silicone, but I would recommend it only as a temporary fix.

Welcome to the Corvetteforum! :cheers:

I have silicone in my -75 around the back glass. It was there when I bought the car, but I'm going to replace it with something else when I'm doing the restoration...

Welcome to the CF.
And it sounds like you need to get a new piece of weatherstripping to seal the window, They are not to expensive.
