Rear Window sealant

[Heffenoche]

I'm getting ready to take out the rear window to fix some rust that's forming, hope it won't ge to bad. My plan to to take out the rear window by cuuting the seal, fix the rust and have a windshield place put the rear glass back in with a new OEM seal (I've never put the glass back in a don't want to risk breaking it). The FSM calls for sealant to be used, what sort of sealant should I get and can I get it locally at say NAPA? On the other hand should I just let the windshield place provide this and just make sure they do use the sealant when they put it in?

I would go with the same setup as the front windshield, urethane sealant, the glass guy sould have some on hand along with the sealant remover to clean up afterwards, I would let him provide it, he wiil use a type that fits his sealnt gun and works with the remover he uses, it only took a portion of a tube to do my windshield, but I would make sure that there is an understanding that sealer will be used from the get go, you do not want to be back doign this again in a few years becuase water got in.
