Default Water leak through the quarter glass

Hi everyone!

So basically I had the right side of my crossfire painted recently due to clear coat damage from Florida sun.
Body shop told me they had to hire a glass company to cut out the quarter glass in order to paint. Apparently that glass company glued it back in but I noticed water is leaking into the car from the window on that side.
So essentially they had to look at it again of course and said the seal around that glass is brittle from the sun and that's why water is getting in. It got damaged when they removed the glass cause the rubber is brittle.

What can be done here? Is there any part I can order to reseal this? Would I be able to order that window on ebay that comes with the seal?
Thanks for letting me know suggestions.

Nick

I believe that the quarter glass is just glued in with windshield adhesive. No actual gasket.

Glass guy said the seal around it was brittle and that's where air/water is getting in. I looked on eBay and saw the window does come with seal around it. Might just have to order one there and then have them glue that one in and hope it seals properly.

There is a trim seal at the bottom outside, but the window itself, while it does also use a few nuts to retain it, is sealed in with glue. We recently cut a pair out of a parts car we had here. We used a standard box cutter with a sharp blade, patience, and a dose of bravery

So I ordered a used one with the seals around it in good condition. I'd imagine the glass service should be able to put that one back in and problem should be good to go right?
