Being the cheap old fart that I am, I've decided to reseal the
rubber gasket that envelopes the sliding glass piece.  The top is
loose and the part where the water is coming in is real loose
too.  Little sign of adhesive when I pulled on it, so we'll fix it
cheap before making VW any richer.   l may use a small bead of
blacksilicone rather than contact cement or 3M yellow stuff, if
nothing else, for a little gap filling in the factory gasket.
