Default 70 rear window installation

Hello to all, I just found this forum while trying to locate someone to install my rear window so that it will not leak. This has been an ongoing problem. Has been intalled 3 times with 3 new rubber seals and it still leaks. The last shop that did it must have used at least a full tube of black chaulk!! I am getting very frustrated by this. I would think that it would be an easy fix.
Any suggestions? I am in Santa Clarita, CA. and will drive a resonable distance to get this problem fixed.
Thanks
Jeff

Do it yourself. The trick is to use 3m bedding and glazing compound. It is a sealant that does not harded. It remains soft ad flexible to seal the window. I installed mine in about 15 minutes. Thought it would be a big hassle but it was easy.
