    yea i have heard about the tape but the stuff in the tube is supposed to work really good. i will say when its on its on, it aint coming off unless you chisel it off. ive got two small leaks in the sealant. i think it might have to do with the temperature outside.

    well i pulled the window out the other day and re-caulked the whole ******* thing, put it back in and it still fuggin leaked in two spots. tried to patch it up without taking the window off and it still friggin leaks. wtf am i doing wrong? lol

    its gotta be the fact that its friggin cold out. i put a ton of sealer on the window frame this time and i still had two spots that didnt seal. thinking i might let it go till next monday. the temp is supposed to be like 40 so ill buy another tube and pull the damn window out yet again and try it...

    im sure it is. i might try to put some black tape around the top to keep any water out until we get some warmer weather. its been sitting in my garage for a week now but the garage is only like 40 degrees.

    lol dude it was a ***** to cut through to get the window out when i put it on the first time lol.

    i dont think the product is the problem, i think its the temp like iowa said. i will probably get some electrical tape and tape around the top today and wait for warmer weather. i just hope the tape dont look too ghetto.

    well i bought some clear silicone and just siliconed around the plastic window molding until i can fix the window properly when its warm. i just hope that silicone comes off the paint lol.
