If you follow Jim Bounds' instructions he uses a non-acidic black RTV to hold the fixed window in place. Yes, there are spacers at the bottom and the front edge. Jim says only the bottom ones are needed and make them smaller - I cut them into 1/2 inch pieces and used two because they make inserting the rubbers more difficult. Jim provided the rubbers and it was not that bad putting them in - at least when it was 110 degrees out. I used a tool I made from an old wood chisel to push the rubber in.
