LAME question: Window seals on unpressurised singles

Here's a quick one for the LAME's and DIY pilots out there:

The window seals on my late 70's Archer are a bit grotty, which in drier parts of the country where the machine used to live didn't really matter, but with the recent heavy rains in Queensland, I've had to shovel out a few inches of water from behind the front seats, and of course this isn't really great for the interior or anything else in the machine for that matter.

Question here is can I just take some run of the mill silicone sealant and replace the old gunk, or is there some sort of rule that would prevent me from doing so? Am I running the risk of making things worse by taking this into my own hands, are there any alternatives (other than getting the custom cover which is on the to do also)?!

Cheers!
