Most auto glass shops also have a rubberized caulking that can be used.  This 
is even easier than dealing with the rubber strips, lubrication of them, etc. 
 Yes, I know.  Not factory but let's face it, we want something that works 
and doesn't take days and holding your mouth right to fix.  Who looks for that 
sort of thing anyway?  I say unless you are restoring a car for Concours 
competition get something that works and is fast.  

Just my 2 cents.

Ps...Just did this on a BJ8 and faced EXACTLY the same problems.  I had a set 
of strips that came thin and would probably work with enough pressure and 
patience and 2 other sets of strips that were thick and NO WAY would they ever 
have worked.  One visit to the local auto glass store, one tube of caulking, a 
couple of hours to set up (Held in place by some large squeeze clamps.  One 
from each direction), razor blade trimming and I'm done and on to the next 
issue.
