I was advised by several not to use sealant. Because if the glass ever gets broken you will play hell getting all the remnants out. I got some glass setting tape from my glass guy. It wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done. I don't cuss any more, but a few words almost slipped out getting mine to work. The tape I got from him was not thick enough. i took a piece and ripped it in half. It's hard to explain how I did this, but I will try. The tape wraps around the edge of the glass that is inserted in the channel. I used a soapy water solution in a spray bottle to ease installation. Using one piece is hard enough, but I installed the piece i ripped in half on one side of the glass. One side had one layer of tape and the other had two. Is it the right way to do it??? I don't know. So far it hasn't fallen out. Once I got it in place i finally got it too close with a little effort. I let it set for a week (a lttile overkill). I opened it and it seemed to be secure. I have yet to have them open going down the road. After I got the glass it place I used a razor to trim the excess tape.

I think LMC sells the tape or contact your local glass company. Take the parts with you.
