Sched 8 maintenance in the CAR's of what a Pilot is allowed to conduct includes removal and resealing of side windows in an unpressurised aircraft.

May as well take the time to take yours out, clean them up properly and re-seal. Day job, two days if you REALLY want to clean everything up (that is, getting a steel brush to the frame then spraying some primer to protect them).
Done it on a PA28 body before whilst learning a thing or two, wasn't too hard. Funny thing was, the pilot's windshield - which a LAMEy fitted - leaked and mine didn't!

Use Sikaflex.
