Odd windshield rubber seepage

In the past few days I have noticed a crystaline seepage forming along the edge (inside the cab) of the windshield rubber of my Slick. This rubber was installed back in November...could this stuff be coming from the compound used to make the install?? TIA

Did you use dish soap?

I didn't install it...was done at a glass shop.

The lube or snot they used will eventually dry up and weep out with rain... Think electrical conduit snot or dish soap....

The corners should have had a dab of sealer.

Okay, but this stuff is coming out on the inside of the cab...does that mean water is getting into the bottom of the rubber on the inside??

Yes., typically it will work its way in under pressure from washing or heave rain.

Makes sense, I just pressure washed the truck the other day and then this seepage began. Thanks for the insight!!
