A couple of the posts above might tempt you to caulk it with something and call it done. I wouldn't. I would tape it to get it to the glass shop where it will be pulled and reset properly, using the correct adhesive as well as the correct amount of adhesive. If you are, in fact, headed to the glass shop, the glass guy will not be amused by whatever caulk you have applied and you will probably pay for the additional work to remove. Worse than that, a caulk you may use may cause a residual problem that interacts negatively with the proper caulk, thereby causing further problems.
Now, granted, my assertion above that the glass guy will "reset properly" is, maybe, a reach as many get it wrong. I've had glass guys tell me, on my coach, that the windshield is supposed to float in the gasket and another will say that the windshield is a structural component and is supposed to be entirely sealed in place. The last guy at Duncan Systems (Elkhart, IN) was the "entirely sealed" guy and, so far, absolutely no problems. Anyway... the point is... go to a company that does ALOT of RV windshields, not just the glass guy down the street.
I highly recommend Duncan. He does this all day, every day. They have quite the setup with the platform that raises and lowers and goes all across the front of the RV and around the corners.
