Thanx guys. So it’s still old school. When someone painted the car before they had taken the windows out and used some sort of caulking to reinstall.
Glueing in 1/4 windows

The glue gun 3M window weld is urethane to the best of my knowledge. If it comes in a rope and sticks like a fly strip, it's butyl. Someone else can chime in if I'm wrong.
In the old days, the butyl was used on windows all around. Nowadays, the urethane for windshields and back glass is a natural because it is part of the structural rigidity of the car on later models.
The trick is, if using urethane goo, you got to get the right height for the glass or the trim will fit f*cked up and you'll be crying like a beeyotch later. I can probably do it, but I think when that time comes, I'll let the pros handle it.

When I had the windshield put in my Monte the guy they sent out had done Gbody's before and after he put the windshield in place he installed the windshield trim to set the height
