Glass install how to?

[bretcopsey]

It seems that this is a straight forward operation, but wanted to check before getting off on the wrong foot.

I believe that the rubber gasket is installed onto the glass, a rope is installed into the channel in the rubber, then the seal is worked into the opening in the cab.

First question, does it make a difference whether the glass is installed from inside or outside the cab?

Is the rubber gasket installed dry, or should I use some silicone, weatherstrip adhesive etc. to first glue the gasket to the glass? (I am having trouble getting the rear glass gasket to stay in place)

What is the best to use to glue together the ends of the gasket on the rear window? The gasket I received is a few inches too long, and open ended.

Any other tips or tricks?
