Smile 1929 Standard Phaeton Do I have the correct windshield?

The windshield or windscreen as some call it on my 1929 standard phaeton had daylight showing around it on both sides in places and along the top too.I would guess the gap was almost 1/16th inch on both sides and the top in some locations . The glass I have is in good condition it is NOT the dual safety glass type but may be the newer safety type that breaks into all those tiny pieces when it gets hit ? There is a little circle etched in the glass and it says PARDONEX in the circle I never heard of a PARDONEX glass ? so if anyone knows what type glass this is I would sure like to know I want me and my family to be safe !

I took it apart today 02-09-2012 to check this out and found that the windshield was installed by applying black silicone rubber windshield sealer around it gluing it in the framethat was all there was in there . I had quite a time getting it out of the frame. I am wondering what is the best way to install the windshield now that I have it out AND do I have the correct SAFETY TYPE windshield glass ? the measurements are
41 & 1/4" or 41.25" across the top 40& 1/16" or 40.625" along the bottom and 13 & 1/8" tall or 13.125" tall on the sides measured right to the edge of the bare glass with a tape measure. The whole thing seems small to me ? Also where can I find instructions for the proper installation of the windshield glass so I can be sure I get it back in there correctly?

THANK YOU GUYS ! your the best ! B0B in Michigan
