I am about to replace the rubber on the rear screen, should I use any sealant when putting the new rubber on? Rubber screen or rubber frame?
Thanks

I always coat under the windscreen, rear window with fish oil.. a few coats
back in old days - 60s 70s I always used windscreen sealant
which was called mastic...??
black stuff that never dried.. was always sticky
and the windscreen could be taken out and the rubber reused..
at least then You will know that it won't leak
