Door glass fell out....

Literally just brought home my "new" camper today, and it's already falling apart :S

It's a 1973 Amerigo truck camper (I know there's a truck camper forum, but this one was "vintage", so I thought this might fit better here), and the glass on the entry door...well, fell out today.

It appears that it was merely glued in with a hard, yet pliable, caulking on both sides of the glass. Is this the way things were done back then, or was this a prior owner quick fix?

Should I just clean out all the old adhesive, and reapply caulking in there to hold it? I was thinking of using something like silicone adhesive in there too.

Most door window frames have tabs that the window mounts within. Along with some butyl putty tape it should be sufficient. Without the tabs, a good layer of butyl tape should hold it firmly on place when the two pieces are clamped together.
