My back window (the very back window with the defogger grid) leaks a bit when it rains. What is a good sealant to use to seal it up?

My preference is to use polyurethane, bought in a cartridge at Home Depot for about $7. I have used it on several windshields (not just on my Escort) , where the rubber gasket had shrunk a little and water was getting in. Polyurethane is the same kind of rubber the local windshield replacer businesses use when they replace a windshield. It never gets so hard that its difficult to remove later on - if I ever find a source of new rubber windows gaskets at good prices.

I'm 99% sure. I looked at the back window, and there is a small space that water could get in during a rain. I will try to take pictures tomorrow.zzyzzx said:
Wouldn't a silicone sealant be better than polyurethane?

Depending on the application, I'd use a clear silicone. Be sure to prep it well first

Could you tell me the exact product you bought at Home Depot. Since you are way more experienced in this than I amdenisond3 said:
I did buy some sealant at Home Depot tonight. I took some pictures of the sealant I bought. I would like your opinion if it's a good one. If not, I can always take it back. That's why I want to get the exact product you use
