I just did mine too...

When you say "width of the glue joint is narrow" do you mean the horizontal 
surface or the inner vertical surface..?

I put the VHB tape on the horizontal surface as close to the inner horizontal 
edge (you can barely see it in the cabin) and a 795 bead in the space between 
the tape and the 90 degree turn out to the vertical edge.   Pushed window on 
and then filled the narrow remaining gap with 795.  Worked great.
