This is the shiznit (as TMB would say) that the auto glass folks used to 
seal the windshield on the past few A1 Jettas that I had them replaced 
(and subsequently seal even though they said "That gasket will never 
leak!")  They also used it on Carrots at my request (surprise - it leaked, 
even though you said it wouldn't!)

Good stuff - forget the silicone.
