You should lay a generous bead of 3M Bedding & Glazing Compound (Part No. 08509) prior to setting the glass & gasket. After it is in, seal between the lip of the gasket and glass with 3M Window-Weld Resealent (Part No. 08633). Then lay another bead of the bedding compound around the base of the gasket and two beads on top of it to seal the trim. There are good instructions in your Chassis Service Manual.

As for the compound, where would it be possible for me to buy some?
