I went to an automotive glass installer and got thin rubber strip that is
designed for this very purpose. It is cut approx. to size then is oiled with
clean engine oil and the glass is pressed into place in the channel. The
rubber is designed to swell with the oil and everything locks beautifully in
place over the next 30 minutes or so. Then come back and clean away the
excess oil and install the glass back into the door. The rubber is called
Glaspak and comes in .040" and .065" thicknesses by 1 1/2" wide. I used the
.040" to install the windup window glass.
