Rear Window & Windshield on a '32 901

This past weekend I installed the 6 pieces of glass that go on the two sides of the car leaving the rear window and the windshield. I have questions concerning both.

I got a piece of weatherstrip channel (Steele Rubber)for the rear window, cut and glued it together to fit the glass. How is the 1) glass held in place,2) should I use a sealant, and 3) if so what is usually used)?

On the windshield, I searched and saw on an older AACA post that the brackets that hold it open were only used for one year and impossible to find. Has this changed or does anyone know of a source or could someone out there take a picture or two so I could see what they look like?

I've not done a lot of glass work but have used 3M Clear Auto Sealer for fixed glass panels in rubber channel. I believe this is the same product Steele Rubber recommends for windshields and backlites.

Dave,

Thanks for the quick response. Do you know how the glass in the rubber channel is held in place - I was thinking a several small brackets screwed into the wood frame that would slightly overlap the rubber.
