Re: Window Seals
Welcome aboard!
I would think for a long term repair, replacement would always be better than silicone.
Silicone is actually a fairly poor long term solution. There are a variety of marine caulks that would work better if you decide not to renew the seals.

Re: Window Seals
it's possible auto glass company may know where you can get some, the style you have may be common with the auto industry, wouldn't hurt to take a piece out and check around. Call Carver & Taylor and see what the price is too. Mike
