Heavy duty double-sided sticky tape type stuff ( technical term :) )
along the sides ( ? ) and bottom and locates in a rubber seal at top.
Available from your local friendly windscreen fitter ?

also how do you fif the front trunk seal does that glue in if so what type of glue thanks any advice would be helpfull
No glue ! Tight fit in the channel and over inner edge .
Don't glue it as its a good idea to remove it occaisionally and dry underneath , as the front edge (just behind bumper) is a known 914 rust trap

As Tom rightly says prob best to let a fitter bond your rear screen in as the common leaks are what caused a lot of 914 to rot in the floorpans + cavity in the lower firewall
