As you mentioned, the windscreens were originally installed with a butyl rubber tape, the same as the fixed glass in the doortops.
There should also be some small rubber blocks that make sure the windscreen edge is held away from the frame. If they are missing make something from some insertion rubber otherwise the windscreen will crack from the edge where it touches & vibrates against the frame.
I managed to source the butyl rubber tape, you'd need to find a company that specialises in sealants locally because it's heavy when it's in a large roll.
The usual Land Rover suppliers should stock it at a much higher price.
I could try the local supplier again, if I cut it to length it shouldn't to too expensive to ship.
Windscreens are cheap from the UK but you take a risk with the shipping because they won't insure glass. I got 4 a few years back and they arrived OK.
