I am not a huge fan of Butyl Tape. It seems to continue to weep out on hot days in the sun. I prefer Elastomeric Latex Chalk. It comes in colors, never dries hard and has a rubber like consistency when it dries.
As for the windows, the easiest way is to make an approximately 1" frame to cover the extention into the cabin and put the inner ring on. I would also screw the windows on from the outside. If the windows are black, the hardware store sells small pre painted screws used for storm doors. You will get a better squeeze out with the pressure from the outside. If you are the risky type, cut the extra 1" off that sticks into the cabin and put the ring on. This will look cleaner and take up less space.
