Making your Cessna-style windscreen watertight

[Battson]

How do you normally go about making a clean and removable installation of a watertight windscreen?

I have been told first hand that your avionics are at risk if no water-sealing is used.

Sure, there is nothing to stop you just injecting a bunch of silicone or caulk around the edges, but that is not going to last forever or more importantly be easy to remove and replace.

I had planned to just use butanol rubber stripping around all the fairings, but now I wonder whether that is sufficient?
