Talk to your local automotive paint supply store. They can fix you up.

look for seam sealer... it's more of a glue than a caulk... it's what is professionally used... you're automotive paint supply store should have several types... you'll want to wire brush and clean/prep the area really well... then it can be painted over...

Automotive seam sealer is what you want, not home depot caulk.

Get the brush on stuff, easier to use/cleanup, and won't have to toss a half used tube.

Ok....which windows?

You need to use the right product, or you're just wasting time/money.

I think you want a urethane windshield sealer, which will also be available from the auto paint supplier.
