Sealant used around door gasket????

[GTLaser]

I recently noticed a small bit of water coming in on my driver side when I wash my car with pressure. I looked around the door gasket near the bottom edge of the windshield and there was a small hole into the cabin when I pull back the door gasket. On the passenger side there is no gap, so I assume from the factory it wasn't done right. It seems to be some type of flexible rubber like an RTV, but not sure exactly. Does anyone know what is used? I have an extended warranty but I would like to seal this up myself, thanks.....

just get some outdoor 100 percent silicone will be fine

3M makes a really good weather strip adhesive. Any reputable auto body supplier would have it. Used it when putting mine back together after paint.
Or you could go to autozone and get some ultra black gasket maker in the sealers aisle. The 3m will stay semi soft when cured, ultra black is pretty hard. Both work well.

Yeah, this is semi soft like a rubber gasket material. I'll check it out, thanks.

the outdoor stuff will hold up better to weather than the ultra black

Not sure this is it because it's not a gasket that needs to be sealed. It's like these cars are half sealed with some type of silicone to clog up any holes/gaps in the body....

that will work if you need to plug a hole, or you can get a black outdoor 100 percent silicone that is a smidge more flexible( the outdoor silicone is what i would use and do use)
