On our Peterbilt windshield's we use a Butyl rope, check with your local autoglass outlet and they should have some or recommend a different product. We find the Butyl cleaner to work with.

A while back I posted a windshied installation thread:

To answer your question, I used this stuff...it was recommended by the local classic Mustang shop on my son's 66, so I used the same on the 52 truck...messy, but no water leaks yet. It's a non-hardening body sealer:
