The Ford Barn

Hi Everyone
I'm building a 40 Ford Restomod Convertible which I started with only a body and chassis new flooring with no holes for pedals or steering column placement. I'm now installing the windshield. I discovered that the glass with rubber seal goes into the frame from the inside.
My questions: is there any kind of adhesive used to glue the seal to the body?
Is the glass just held in by the garnishing?
Do I use soapy water to put the seal around the glass?
Is any sealer I should put on the glass before putting the seal on the glass?
Is there anything special I need to know about the installation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Frank
