I posted this question before at https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/5380099.
Trav and others suggested using flowable silicone. I used as mentioned in some of the YouTube videos. It worked for a couple of months. Last week, I got the car washed and noticed water on the EZ pass transponder. So instead of trying to fix it myself, I took it to the mechanic. He doesn't do windshield work and directed me to a local auto glass place.
As I was expecting, they tell me its not worth fixing it and they would replace a windshield for ~$600 (glass+labor, including cleaning the leak area. They suspect its rusted at the leak point, by the bubbles on the top of the roof).
TBH, I do not want to spend that money at the moment, so I am going to see if I can use anything else.
A little bit of googling tells me that silicone can expand and contract depending on the temps so I wonder if it makes sense to use Urethane sealant? If it does, can I use https://www.amazon.com/Aleenes-Liquid-Urethane-Adhesive-4-Ounce/dp/B00KD6YW46
If at all it doesn't work, and I can at least get through 'virus-related job-on-the-line' time period, I know, I am going to replace the windshield.
Thanks in advance.
