Glass (front)
 
Set by previous owner.
Getting ready to fix the side windows here and then hopefully paint soon.
Was looking at the front and doesn't seem too bad - but some gaps etc in the moulding.

Thoughts on just running around the inside with black auto glass silicone/adhesive. Using this for the side windows.

The windshield should not need any sealer to make it waterproof. Are you seeing a gap or just different paint? The windshield should not be installed when you paint. It really needs to be out for a couple reasons, first is that you should do any repairs to the flange area and 2nd is so you don't have the issue that you posted this picture of.

I'd just massage the rubber back into the opening to close the gap.
