Went up to Kohler Andrea park and left Fri afternoon before the holiday tourist influx. Had torrential rains Wed night. I had double checked the front marker seal job I had done years ago and it looked ok. Drip is just right of rearview mirror top of windshield. Next morning I stood on bumper and finally saw where the urethane between the gasket and SMC had slightly pulled away from the SMC. I ordered some 3M windo- weld black urethane. I intend to mask, caulk and finger smooth the bead. Any thoughts on this as the correct product?

Although I have no idea what an SMC is lol any good urethane would be fine caulking the windshield frame at the top. reef out the old stuff and yes finger in the urethane, mask and clean up methyl hydrate. JWID fixed which fixed that exact THAT leak.

SMC sheet molded compound or commonly (not totally correctly) called fiberglass
