I bought a new drop glass and new divider which was joined with urethane for me before shipment. There are two dimples in the glass which must be evenly spaced with the grooves in the carrier. The new glass was perfectly aligned. My old glass.... was not. Yet it still closed normally and worked well. This meant my glass guides mounted to the door were not lined up correctly for the new glass. Damn it! I spent about 45 minutes shifting stuff around and re-aligning things until I had it down and working as expected.

New vapor barrier installed with butyl tape. A lot of clean up of the old adhesive was necessary first. Messy job! But, I'm weather-proof now. I also wrapped up and zip tied a lot of wires to keep them from rattling around inside the door.

After installing the divider and outer wipe seal, I had to lay a bead of black silicone in this gap. It turned out OK if a little bit too glossy. I am going to wait and see if it really annoys me before I tear it out and try something else. I understand there is a roof flashing polyurethane that looks a bit better if you want to deal with a huge cartridge for just this.

I used painter tape to triple check how much of the drop glass was going up into the divider so I knew it was getting inside evenly and completely. I had to bend the divider inward on the seal slightly to get it to push all the way in the forward section.
