I've done several glass cars (street beast, outlaw, ect. ) it's easy .First clean the glass good. then I use a gray scotch brite to clean a one inch band around the outside edge (for good surface for urethane to stick to) , next install the h moulding Make sure the corners are perfect. then using the moulding as a gide apply a top quality high viscosity urethane. I use essex u418 hv by dow chem. When you cut the tip for the urethane cut off about 1/2 inch of the tip, then cut a vee notch in the side this vee should be as tall as you want the beed. in your case about 3/4 inch. In a very smooth motion holding the caulk gun straight up squeez and pull following the moulding all the way around this will make a vee shape beed that should be as tall as the pinch weld. where the beed meet take a plastic stick and paddle the two together so no breaks in the beed. then set the glass and tape in place for 24 hrs. To hide the urethane I use black stripe tape or have a sign shop make a 1 inch black band around the glass. thats it.
