I'm looking for specific recommendations for sealants for the following:​

First for the window/windshield glass to rubber seal, and rubber seal to Birdcage Channel. I believe the right stuff to use is 3M Auto Bedding and Glazing Compound # 08509? This is a non-hardening compound. http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/...upport_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html

Then there are those areas around the front windshield, and above the doors at the drip rails (gutters) where the birdcage metal meets the fiberglass. And also the metal joints such as the drip rails. The factory used some sort of white seam sealant. What is the recommended product for these joints?
Would it be: 3M™ Duramix™ Factory Match Seam Sealer, PN 08323

Or some epoxy sealant?​

Thanks,​

Body sealing in those areas was done with conventional vinyl plastisol body seam sealer - 3M has several grades of it (as I noted in your post on the other forum). :)

I have searched and searched 3M's site and I can not find any such seam sealer.
Do you have a part number?

Your local body shop/paint supply store will have it, or can get it for you overnight; don't have the numbers offhand. ;)
 
I contacted 3M directly and they provided the following specific recommendation:

The product recommended for your application from 3M Technical Service is
3M(TM) Ultrapro(TM) Urethane Seam Sealer, p/n 08360
