Without doubt the best modern material to use for this job is any polyurethane like Sikaflex (there are others).
This is what is used to bond modern windscreens into all cars now.
It is important to really clean well the edges of the glass beforehand to remove any silicone left on the surface of the glass from manufacturing.
You need to work smartly and do all the windows in one session, once the tube is open it needs to be used, it will go off in the tube.
Do wear gloves and remove excess immediately. You can get polyurethane cleaning wipes - very handy.
It will truly seal the edges of the glass and thus avoid de-lamination at a later date.
Don't be tempted to use silicone sealer which although much easier to use is not as good for this job by a country mile.
Hope this helps you.
