With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer along the edge of the quarter fixed glass as shown, then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheese cloth :
  
Do not apply body primer to the quarter fixed glass, and do not get body and glass primer sponges mixed up.
Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the quarter fixed glass properly, causing a leak after the quarter fixed glass in installed.
Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.

Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
