I am about to put the door glass back in and I am wondering what is the best way to attach the metal regulator tracks to the bottom of the glass? Regular Silicone? Seam Sealer?

What about the urethane glass adhesive that is used on front and rear glass on most vehicles?

you need the tape for the fit. it will be too sloppy in the channel without it, I tried. pipe clamp with a wood block is the answer.

PLACE THE WOOD BLOCK ON THE TOP OF THE GLASS AND PRESS THE WINDOW WITH TAPE INTO THE CHANNEL WITH A PIPE CLAMP. OOPS Sorry about the all caps I was in working mode for autocad.

Try heating the tape up just a bit to make it more pliable while pushing the glass in place.
Warm to the touch is all it takes. Once it cools it'll grab
that glass real tight
