For the most part, I agree with you. Especially in regard to future paint necessities. There are silicones designed specifically for glass. Ones not designed for this application tend to delaminate the glass.

Me? I don't utilize sealers. I install new gaskets properly and have not had any negative experiences to date.

For the rear windshields on a '39 - '40, I recommend Drake's gaskets. Carpenter's simply don't fit - they are too long.
These are easy to install and reasonably priced.
