Are you using the butyl rubber WindoWeld rope? IDK if there are specs but I’ll check. I just tightened mine in a crisscross pattern a little at a time until snug, using a 1/4” drive shorty ratchet.

19-25 lb-in per the FSM, assuming that the specified seal is in use.

I just tightened them by feel to about the same force as to take them off. Glass guy that I was working with wasn't worried about torque specs but keeping the glass flat is a must so work in a cross pattern like putting on a tire.
