Welcome aboard!
I would think for a long term repair, replacement would always be better than silicone.
Silicone is actually a fairly poor long term solution. There are a variety of marine caulks that would work better if you decide not to renew the seals.

it's possible auto glass company may know where you can get some, the style you have may be common with the auto industry, wouldn't hurt to take a piece out and check around. Call Carver & Taylor and see what the price is too. Mike
