The SPC describes it as "rubber, glazing", but some cars seem to have a
material more like friction tape (rubber coated cloth). TRF P/N CD31407 or
Moss 680-455.

There are angle brackets and 4 screws at each lower corner that fasten the
frame pieces together. It's not actually fixed to the glass at all, the
glass more-or-less floats inside the rubber glazing.

That's what I opted for, many years ago, and never regretted it. I first
asked if they could supply the glass, then when they said "no", I brought
them the glass and frame, let them supply the glazing. There is some small
variation in replacement glass thickness, apparently, so IMO it's prudent to
let a professional choose the glazing to suit the glass. The cost was
minimal, perhaps $15 (in 1975).
