I know you still keep saying our cars doesn't need that filler, but... all I can say is my car had it and I was the first one who remove the glasses. True my car was not assemblied in USA, but....
And I will still keep using it! I don't like the idea of water running freely through this channel left specially having vinyl top

I just removed the original windshield from my '74 SE Brougham. The bottom channel was full of sealer but the top and both sides had none. I suspect there was no concern of water accumulation except for the bottom channel. When the replacement windshield goes in that is how I will seal it.

Yes, they used POR-15. And I saw the car after they removed the rust but before applying the POR-15. They also polished the window molding while it was off the car. I use a gas leaf blower to do the overall drying after I wash the car. Then I use an airhose with power nozzle to get the water out of the window and door moldings, as well as mirrors, trunk lip drip channel and around the hood. Hey thats a great idea. I have a compressor but never thought to use it like that. Yep, its the standing water, or water-soaked debris staying in what should be a drying-channel, that is the culprit for windshield channel rust. Takes some time of course, but these cars were not usually apart that much in their 40+ years of ownership. Its an opportunity I say, when replacing either the front or rear glass to make it right again. And I love the idea of blowing it down.
