How to, glass stuff question

[Virg464]

So my experience ends with a few windshield installs. I'm working on the door glass for my 66 coronet 2DHT. I had to by a new piece of glass for the PS door, and have to install what the factory parts book lists as the frame. It's the SS edge trim piece that the rear quarter window seal seats against. My question is, what do I use to install the trim piece (frame) to the door glass? My first thought was some type of black silicone adhesive, but I've also heard talk of butyl rubber tape. This isn't a show car, weekend fun at the drag strip mostly, so authentic/OE isn't a real issue, just functional and safe.

Glass setting tape. I got a few different thicknesses from a glass shop. Rub both sides with ATF and slam them together

I used some kind of flexible black tape, wrapped around the edge of the glass and shoved together. It worked

That tape looks like the way to go. In the past I’ve used black RTV sealant and it worked fine.

Black butyl tape wipe with kerosene then roll over edge and tap with rubber mallet til it seats
