Or is there some other stuff to use, like the stuff they bond windshields with? I have the RTV...don't have the other stuff

DO NOT USE silicone sealer. it will not work. try windshield urethane or some type of epoxy, like JB weld. Yes, I'm talking about silicone gasket maker/sealer etc. Why do you think it shouldn't be used? (BFASTER has used it and it worked fine). I could see the windshield adhesive would be good, but if silicone does it then I have that to hand. JB Weld wouldn't work as it would be a nightmare to replace the glass if you ever needed to. The factory did use a flexible material...
