Re: Duramax Task Force Panel

based on youtube advice I used a butyl rubber at pinch weld and rubber cement at the glass

3 years on the rubber cement seemed to let go at a few places and my flat rear window developed a leak. Checking it over the rubber cement was not really sealing anywhere any more. I got the tip of caulking tube under the edge and added butyl rubber all the way around. yes, kinda messy, but you can clean it with paint thinner or wait a couple weeks then scrape it.

based on that experience, we did butly rubber on both sides putting glass into my son's '46 2 door

I'd consider polyurethane sealer/glue too. more permanent but harder to clean to replace glass in future. I am also a bit concerned that the glue might go off before the glass fully creeps into place, it seems the corners start to lay flatter after a few warm days.

Does TF glass overlap the pinch weld or sit edge-edge with it? I have seen some very nice glue in jobs online, but I think you need a bit of overlap.
