Carefully placed black RTV sealant will fix you right up.

X2, i use it on aircraft all the time. As long as its not what is physically holding the window in you are GTG.

Go to a glass shop and get some butyle rubber sealant or dow cornering 795. Silicone will produce rust and should never be used on bare metal. The dow 795 is what i would suggest as it stick to any surface and oddly enough is easy to clean off of a painted surface once it is dry by simply scraping with a finger nail. sounds wierd but regardless it holds better then anything. Or while there, ask what they suggest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif (i used to have a glass shop btw http://www.cgiglass.com )

man the same thing happened to my ranger after i dropped in the RE's and it was not my window check the seal on your third brake light mine was dryrotted so i replaced it with industrial glass adhesive blacke rubber junk and then trimmed with an exacto knife... the light was leaking and the water settled on top of the window in the gutter where the window is stamped out into the back of the cab. The water then appeared to leak around the window. I hope this is a quick fix for you if this is what happened.

that happened in my truck with 4 12's and 1600w, water leaked right on the amp and I heard a loud crack and I could see a small flame in the amp. Was probably my fault though I resealed it back in after being out for a bed cap. I got some butyl sealer and just filled in where it didnt look the best. Fine ever since
