Default Caulk?

Hi, what kind of caulk should I use to help seal my weatherstripping and window seals. I'm having problems with water leaks. I hear Latex caulk may resist vibration better than silicone.

Thanks,

John

Caulk only belongs on a house not a car.

Automotive weatherstrip adhesive works pretty good. Most auto parts places have a good selection.

Make sure you remove the chrome trim around the windows and apply the sealant or adhesive to the rubber window gasket instead of sealing the trim to the glass and the car. I tried that on an old Tempo once using caulking and it didn't work too well. But then again it was an old Tempo...
