Default What is this gunk?

See this sticky stuff at the edge of the front and back windscreens.
The back seems to have a uniform 2-3 mm around the edge. It's soft and sticky.
On the front the sticky stuff seems to migrate to the edge of the roof panel.

Any ideas?

Sealant from the windshield install? Tried wiping with a mild solvent?

Wax and grease remover should clean that up

Thanks. But was wondering why the sealant is leaking out or appears to have melted and formed a rim of gunk around the edges quite uniformly esp the back.

No leaking. To much applied during install. Dealer should have removed as part of PDI.
