Any Professionals have tips for installing windshields?

Today I installed a used windshield in a 65 Barracuda. It was the 4th windshield I've installed in a car with a rubber seal/gasket. I put the gooey-thick Urethane sealant on the metal window channel and weatherstrip adhesive in the groove that the glass fits into. I used a plastic stick for installing glass but it seemed that it took longer than it should.
I started by placing the gasket to the opening, then placing the glass into the bottom of the gasket. Being right handed, I started at the bottom middle and went counter-clockwise. I did the bottom followed by the right side, left side, then on to the top. It fits, the gasket isn't deformed and it does not leak. I have zero training doing this, I just jumped in and gave it a try because my local glass shops refuse to install used glass. Sometimes I'm building a cheap car to sell and I want to minimize costs. I would really appreciate any tips you guys have on this.
Thanks, Greg
