Aerostar Rear Window assembly ???

Hi, i have a 1992 Ford Aerostar sport 3.0L engine. My rear window is leaking in water every time it rains and it's rain season here in FL. I noticed the seal around the window has a few broken bolts (they no longer exist) and that side of the glass is loose. Of course its the top side. I have looked for that seal everywhere. None of the local auto part stores have it and i can't even find a picture online. Its as if it didn't exist. Maybe that's it, its an old van. Anyway, i still haven't tried the dealer but i'm starting to panic. My last option is the junk yard which i know has a few of those vans but i was hoping to get it new.
Does anyone know where to get that rear glass seal? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a pick of the rear window:



Are you talking about the harder plastic seal around the outer window or the butyl glue that helps hold the window in?

The Butyl can be found in bulk at most auto parts stores and body shop suppliers. The outer part is usually just found with the rear window.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm looking for the harder seal that has all the bolts all around it. I guess i do need the other glue seal too. I replace one of the side rear windows a few years ago which is installed the same way and i dont remember replacing the whole window. I can almost swear that hard seal is a separate part. Then again, i could be mistaken. I'm attaching a picture of a rear window with the hard seal i'm talking about. it has 8 bolts sticking out that hold the hold window to the liftgate. I remember also using a black paste like glue when i did the other window.
So, does that hard seal comes with the glass? Do i need to replace the whole thing? My glass is fine. Just need the seals. Thanks again.

It looks like the only way to get the bolts/trim is with the glass, at least through Ford.

You might want to check your local yellow pages for body supply shops, they might have an aftermarket option for the trim/bolts.
