Nice job, by the way.

Thanks.
I thought it would be better to use something that would evaporate/dry away and allow the seal to grip where it should ... at least that's how I imagined it. I did consider using 3M wet type spray silicone or the 303 protectant, but I discussed the techniques with the guy that replaced my windshield and he used a foaming glass cleaner as the lube which stayed wet longer than the Windex. The windex stayed wet and slippery for probably 2 minutes before needing another squirt. It was easy to clean everything up after installation too. Just another few squirts of Windex and wipe it up.
