Help! Water leaking at rear window buttons

[hilthree]

I took the round black "buttons" off the back window of my 85 coupe to repaint them as they have faded over the years. Now I notice when it rains water is dripping into the car from the 4 studs that are part of the "buttons". Any ideas of how to make a tight seal? Im afraid to tighten too tight as to crack the window.

..... You can use sealent or purchase the thin rubber gaskets that came on the car originally.

There were no rubber gaskets when I took it off. Do you have any idea where I can purchase these gaskets?

Save yourself some time; simply remove one, smear a little black silicone on the mounting surface, tighten down, and clean 'er up. Guaranteed...........no leaks!

I would do as compy suggests as I bought mine about 10 years ago. Did a quick search and cannot locate them anywhere..
