    OK, I'm getting conflicting info on installing the front and rear windows. Is sealer needed or not? I don't recall any sealer on the back window. According to the guy that installed the glass this style does not need sealer in the front either. What did you guys do? I really need to figure out if the front windshield and rear window need to be reinstalled to include sealer!

    Seal it...better to be sure, than mess up the interior or find a trunk full of water.
