Leaking windscreen

My windscreen is glass with an aluminum frame. It leaks between the frame and the deck and at the corner joints. this brings in a lot of water when it rains or a breaking wave.

Thus a lot of mold & mildew.

I plan on removing the complete assembly and cleaning the deck.

What is the best thing to put back down as the sealing gasket? I saw some boats have closed cell foam, and others look like there is a clear caulking.

The glass to aluminum gaskets are fine.

Thanks

My windshield did not have a seal between the windshield and deck and also leaked. I used a thin bead of a silicone based calk and it has never leaked since.
