Owen:

Thanks for the replies. I will look for the 3M product. I didn't want the sticky stuff that glues the glass down as is used on modern cars.

Just a note to clarify: The molding IS part of the weather sealing on a 22nd-23rd car.

The car windshield frame to the molding MUST be sealed (with sealant). The molding to the rubber could be ok without sealant (I saw no evidence of sealant residue). Probably the clamping force from the interior trim holds this seal firmly tight. The glass to rubber might be ok without sealant (I DID see evidence of residue there)but I will apply sealant there. The corners at the center post probably require sealant (my car has some damage to the rubber there).
