David,

I bought the strip and the calking from Rover's North in Vt.,USA  the
parts numbers are as follows:

 Rubber Seal Strip for Glass=20

=A0RNC687 =A0Sold by  the meter =A0 <color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param> =
</color>

=A0GT106 =A0 Glazing Putty 50 ft. roll =A0

This is essentially a flat strip of rubber, nothing shaped.  Lacking
any instructions, the logical approach was to surroung the glass with
calking/putty first and then lay the strip over it.  Getting it evenly
applied takes time and sliding the whole business into the galvanized
channels can be frustrating.  I'm sure the factory used some sort of
jig to hold it but it can be done freehand
