Default 1957 windshield re-mount

I am restoring 1957 # 2063. putting a newly restored windshield back on. the original had something that looked like plumbers putty between windshield and the rubber. I am using the old rubber because the replacment ones have no curviture, and don't fit. The rubber is in excellent condition, but I need to know what anyone used as a sealer.
Thanks
Butch

3M 8578 black strip caulk for under the frame to body and around all penetrations in the body for bolts. Works great and don't be shy applying it.
