John,

Page 32, glass setting tape, all rubber.  Measure the channel in the 
frame and subtract the thickness of the glass, divide by two, and that 
should be the thickness you need.
The rubber is partly vulcanized, so it wraps the glass easier and self 
seals at the joints.

The old seal kind of looked like a rubberized windlace material that came from M*** in '05 during my restoration.  The seal I recently received from M*** is a smooth thicker version that basically looks like a cut rubber band.  It does not want to cooperate because of the thickness.  It is just too thick!
