    When to seal versus remove?

    Hi All, In my quest to make our 1970 Ambassador leakproof, I have encountered a few areas that have copious amounts of old silicone -- probably as a desperate attempt by the previous owner to keep water out. I have already removed the single-pane stack windows next to the entry door...
