When you dig out the old hard sealer, you need to stop the rust and prep the metal with primer or I use POR. It flows down in all of the seams and then I add the 3M sealer while the POR is still tacky. You get a good blend of the two products that way. Don't let the POR get completely dry because it gets real hard & slick and things don't stick to it well then.
You can then use the POR on ALL the seams that you can find and clean out of old sealer. They are under the cowl, under the dash and under the windshield gasket. Get them all and then keep resealing the rubber gasket with good urthane windshield sealant.
I only use windshield shops that "guarantee" the windshield will not leak for the as long as you own the truck.
Our trucks are leakers. Sometimes I have to have my windshields resealed every time the rainy season starts!
