Technically speaking, silicone will not adhere to cured silicone.

Stick with GE1200 construction silicone if you can find it local, it's much nicer to work with than GE Type 1 Door/Window silicone.

PS: Use acetone or similar solvent to make sure the glass is absolutely clean and free of contaminates like oil from your fingers.

I used methyl hydrate to clean the glass before applying new silicone. Not as volatile as acetone. Don't know if its better though
