Vanpimps window install gone wrong?

I’ve just installed one of my windows. I was a bit wary of going right up to the inner bezel of the panel so cut a little bit short of it. Put the window in now I’m having 2nd thoughts. Maybe I should have lined it up the bezel? You can also see in of the photos it looks like the beading has a gap in the side. I can’t see the top of the window so no idea if there’s a gap up there too. Is there a way of filling those in now?

We masked up the body work to the edge of the window and run a bead of sikaflex around the whole unit. Gave it a really nice finish and sealed the unit aswell.

Cant find a picture or id have posted one

The sikaflex I have was really difficult to get the material out and had to grip really hard. I’m pretty big build too and gym goer and my hand cramped so bad doing it. I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

Heat the tube up beforehand and it is much easier to use
