Ceiling window leaking (Slide out)

I have a Forest river 28BH I believe it is a 2011. The window above the dining area is leaking. I removed the frame and window and it appears it has been leaking for some time. The glass was mostly separated from the metal frame. I am looking for recommendations on how to bond the glass back to the metal frame. It appears to be some kind of black sealant.

Your best bet might be to take the frame and glass to an automobile windshield place and have them use the black sealant they use when replacing windshields and seal the window to the frame. Or you could try a high great RTV sealant and do it yourself. good luck let the forum know what you do and how it works.

Well I took the window to my local glass house. They were able to repair it for me. They said that a low quality urethane product was used and also that who ever installed the glass used the wrong primer in both areas. $20 repair and now I can get it installed. THANKS!
