After searching, I found that some used 3/8 butyl tape and others use 1/4"
What is the right one? I would assume that if it's too small, there will be gaps and if too big, the glass might move and stick out too far |

Skip Butyl, go with silicon adhesive... Comes in a squeezy bottle from home depot. Works great, clean the excess with a razor blade and you're set!

Silicon absorbs water. Water+914=Rust. Not a good thing. Plus, if you use silicone, paint will never stick to it again. Or so I've been told. YMMV. |
