    As mentioned, the front screen is bonded to the body, while the rear window uses a rubber seal on the early series Commodores.

    You can purchase windscreen sealant from auto suppliers and spare parts places. Its a thick, black, sticky and bloody messy stuff that you squeeze between the glass an the seal or body. Don't use too much as you will have to wipe it off and you will end up with it everywhere.

    Sikaflex can be used, but you need to ensure you get the correct one - there are quite a few different types for different jobs. It's also comparitively exxy.
