Windshild Window Leaks

The three teak-framed front windows on my Taiwan Trawler all leaked. I cured most of the problem many years ago by using a product called something like "Captains Creepie Crud." It came in a small white squeeze bottle and was a consistency between Elmer's Glue and milk. I don't see it in the catalogues now but squeezing layer after layer into the gap along the bottom and the sides from the outside definitely worked.However, when taking heavy spray, I still get a wee bit of water that has been forced over the top of the glass running down the inside of one window. Any suggestions on how to seal the top?<<<gary Ritzman>>>  M/V Dharma  Albin 40    Mercer Island WA
