Is this a total strip down and rebuild? If it is just a re-seal then:

Take the top trim off. Clean the glass throughly via razor blade. Get any loose silicone off. Very time consuming.

Corners - use masking tape 1/2 inch or so away in the corners and a plastic spoon to smooth out the silicone. Remove the tape immediately after so the tape and silicone does not dry together.

I used GE Type 1 silicone and have had no discoloring (1 year later now)
