You could use some frame sealant. Would probably last 1 or 2 winters. If there's no more significant rot on the beading you could sand back a little there and pipe a bead of sealant around the panel, prime and paint it if you want it to last longer/look better.
Car body filler or the equivalent decorating version was the usual fix until repair care came along. It's not flexible and needs to bond properly to the surrounding wood so wood hardener on any rot in the area before using it.
It's not an easy job to get it looking right when you've finished. If you leave it the panel and door frame will rot so that you will have enough of a job to call in a professional!

Any thoughts on repairing a leaking panel on my front door? I was looking at Repair Care as it is flexible but it is also spendy.
