Jerry, Just to be sure I understand this process correctly... I am suppose to remove the strips that are on the top and back side of the window ( this is the side that is closest to the rear of the van ) then place the a tube of clear silicone with a pinhole tip to tightly inject the sealant in place. Then while it is getting tacky re-insert the strips? Is this correct?
