So now that I've got the inside rear cap off and stripped most of the insulation, I'm seeing clearly where the water is getting in. Looks like it's coming in through the seal around the rear panel - the main back panel that the rear window is mounted in. From the outside I see that in general there's about a 1/4" gap around the panel, and it looks like it's about 1/2" or more deep, and except for one place, looks like there's no sealant in this slot, expecting no doubt that whatever gasket is in the actual seal will be effective. Not wanting to remove the whole back panel and redo the seal/gasket, can I just fill this slot with sealant all the way around the door? I know that will make removing it in the future pretty obnoxious, but short of a complete gutting I can't imagine why I'd need to do that.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
