I'm about to fit the windshield to my '74 rebuild project. On the screen I took from a '74, I see black caulking between the glass and rubber seal, and between the seal and the frame.
Windshield people I spoke to say there should be no need for extra caulking - the rubber seal should be enough.
It may be that your windscreen people are misunderstanding your use of the term "caulking". There is no need for the insertion of tar-soaked ropes.
I know for a wet-foot fact that with my Spitfire a little extra silicone sealant between the glass and the seal in the bottom corners made a lot of difference. Applying sealant between the seal and the frame is routine, and utterly necessary given the amount of twist the frame can acquire over a period of thirty years.
