I would add the caveat "that you *know* of" to your sentence. If the seal has shrunk that much, water may be sitting in that channel under your fix. Ask an old splittie owner about rusted windshield bottoms. No substitute for replacing the seal in the long run. I had a commercial auto glass firm replace my windshield ('84 Vangagon GL) as part of my insurance coverage. "Never done one like this" was his observation. New glass, old seal, means water in the foot wells every time it rains. I ended up buying a new seal ($80 from VW) and installing it myself. No more leaks. -Jim Bryant
