Just FYI, I re-done a lot of these window for customer and myself. Silicone never works for a driver car long term....it is just not strong enough in my experience. I have had great very long term success with 3M Structural Adhesive.....And "turbo" Don is right you better get it in the right spot first time. Remember the depth of the glass in the track is very important, to ensure I keep the depth correct, I put each track in my Bridgeport and mill the old glue out in the middle, leaving about 3/4" inch of the original at each end of the track. Then with everything super clean, apply the Structural Adhesive to the track, in the area where the original glue was removed. Repeat at each track.......the front track needs to int he right place and the space between the tracks needs to be correct.....use the marks on your original glass to get the measurements. You don't need a Milling Machine, but a Dremel Tool will do the trick too. If you take all the glue out of the track it will make this task so much harder and alignment will become near impossible without modifying slots and brackets.

I've used a router and the proper bit to clean out the tracks leaving 1/8 in at the bottom for proper height spacing.
