All the windshield guys I have talked to disagree, the rust that is showing up in the lower corners in a lot of older cars would indicate water is getting in there and sitting with no way to drain out the amount of silt that was in this area when I popped out my windshield that had no sealant on the outside of the seal would bear that out. How does rubber stretch to fill a void? I would think it would seek its original shape.
