Aww geese.... Then you really' don't want to know what I am going to
say next....

Silicone out gasses a gas that turns into acid in contact with
water/humidity. This acid will eat the body metal totally away. The
number of windshield frames I have seen totally rotted through from that
is amazing. Normally one would use a butyl sealant for body metal or
stuff they call 'seam sealer'.
