Do not use PU sealers, or equivalent Sikaflex, these products are designed for gap filling/sealing
Windscreen bonding adhesive is the way to go, use it with the primer thats supplied, and a 1cm deep "V" cut into the end of the application nozzle, so the sealer comes out sideways, this makes application easier.
