1937 120-C door window metal channel weatherstrip

For those that have restored their side windows and the such. I'm in the process of putting together my frames, channels and windows. Wondering if a weatherstrip was used as shown in the pictures or if just some glass setting tape for setting the window in the metal channel. The sample piece is from Steele and other pic is what the sample describes being used as. Weatherstrip top lips sit a little high in the channel as well.

It should be a felt line channel with a rubber and metal backing that goes in the channel that window slides up and down against.

Correct on the felt channel which I have. But what I'm speaking of is what the bottom portion of the glass that would then slide into the metal channel (the metal channel that attaches to the up/down roller mechanism). Wondering if it's glass setting tape that gets used to set the glass in or if that weatherstrip is used.

Here's a better picture of the full window. As shown by my fingers the bottom of the glass is set into the metal channel. But with what? Glass setting tape or weatherstrip. Thanks all in advance.

I purchased replacement front and rear vent windows from the GLASS MAN and he supplied the setting tape with my order.

I used this tape and it set very well in the channel and a razor blade trimmed off the excess.

The nice thing about the tape was the ability to set the window edge to the correct clearance to the frame as they close against it.

I had a glass shop replace my glass and they used setting tape.

I used glass setting tape - first coat the tape with kerosine.
