Most has been said already, but as I've done this on a couple of boats there are a couple of things to add. Don't make the screw holes too tight, allow enough clearance so that screws are not hard against the edges of any of the holes. This will reduce stress points (which can induce cracks later), especially when following a curved surface. Start from the centre and work outwards when tightening the screws. Don't use only sealant (sikaflex or whatever) as it squeezes out too easily when you tighten down the screws.
Diy Frameless Windows
Either use a gasket as already mentioned or use small rubber rings under the screw holes to maintain a gap that the sealant can fill. And of course, good luck with the project. Nothing much to add to the above as it's all good. Just one small point. I found it better to do nice zigg zag pattern with the silicon so when you offered the windows up you got a nice even spread, don't go crazy with the silcon. Push the window down, but not with a crazy amount of pressure and tighten up the screws slighly, Leave it for 10-15 minutes to let it set a little and then tighten the screws down further so you get a nice bed of silicon between the window and base. Finish off with a small bead of silicon around the edge finished off with a wet finger to get a nicer finish.
I then used a black hammerite type of paint as a boarder so you couldn't see the base through the clear window.which as I think about it whilst I write sounds a bit nasty but it turned out quite nice.I went down that route as that was how it was before I reffited all the windows and seemed to last the test of time.
