what do You mean by holding water??

front and rear screens actually have holes in the two bottom corners for the water to run out of...

black silastic carefully squuezed under the rubber should stop any water seepage... and seal the rubbers..
to the body or the glass...

cheers

I have water seeping into the cabin at my feet, that's what I meant by holding water, but I am removing the windows to get a new roof lining put in, so I will be replacing the seals for I have not a clue as too how old or the quality of the seals that are in there.

Talk to Boris if you go to VVDS
I have a 1303 not a 1302 like yours
But years ago Boris had some better examples made up for the 1303 in Thailand that didnt "peel" in in the corners
May have been a curved screen thing - but they are certainly better than WCM in my case
