Close to what Gary said.
I cut some 1.5mm rubber sheet into 50mm lengths and placed them along
the receiving channel, leaving about 100mm between each strip.
Then, after lubing the glass with dish washing liquid, I pressed the
glass into the rubber.
I tried using a continuous length of rubber but it was too hard to get
the glass inside it.
Once the glass was bottomed out and I cleaned off the detergent, I
filled the gaps between the rubber sheet with a silicon sealant/adhesive.
See attachment.
I had to make triple sure the glass was well and truly captive in the
channel because I had fitted fresh fuzzies to the runners.
The friction of those could easily drag the glass out of the channel.
Make sure the channel is clean, rust removed and the sides are parallel
and not belled in or out or you will have difficulty getting a good grip
on the glass.
In my experience, removing/replacing the rollup glass requires removal
of the UPPER travel stop which is screwed to the rear of the channel and
removal of the 1/4 window frame.
Without those two out of the way, I was unable to maneuver the window
away from the channel rollers or out of the door.
