Default Need advice on sealing glass to a homemade Solar Collector Box

Im making my first Hot Water Solar Collector to go on the roof and
will be using a 60' roll of 1/2" i.d. Copper Tubing in a 2x6" wooden
box , with a Thermopane Window that comes in a vinyl enclosure frame
to sit on top of the box. Im going to paint the wooden box , copper
tubing roll , and window enclosure frame a flat black using special
high temp. paint intended for Solar Collectors . I suspect the
temperature of the window enclosure frame is going to get very very
hot in the summer , so, im wondering what sort of adhesive or
weatherstripping I should use to seal the window enclosure frame to
the wooden box that will hold up very well in extremely hot temps and
moisture ? Thanks.
