just be sure to use the masking tape to keep it NEAT |

When you get to doing a real replacement of the rubber be sure to get all the silicone off & that will be quite a chore. If you don't get it all off you won't get the new seal you've paid for.

You go, 2D!
I did the same, only used some clear that I had lying around, and did it free hand. Completely functional, with little to no regard for appearances.
I'll get new rubbers for the windshields in awhile, and until then, it's a work in progress!
And the dirty secret is: new rubbers leak too!
So get used to using some goop or other! Don't use it on new install at your peril!
happy coaching!
