Most auto glass shops also have a rubberized caulking that can be used. This
is even easier than dealing with the rubber strips, lubrication of them, etc.
Yes, I know. Not factory but let's face it, we want something that works
and doesn't take days and holding your mouth right to fix. Who looks for that
sort of thing anyway? I say unless you are restoring a car for Concours
competition get something that works and is fast.
Just my 2 cents.

Ps...Just did this on a BJ8 and faced EXACTLY the same problems. I had a set
of strips that came thin and would probably work with enough pressure and
patience and 2 other sets of strips that were thick and NO WAY would they ever
have worked. One visit to the local auto glass store, one tube of caulking, a
couple of hours to set up (Held in place by some large squeeze clamps. One
from each direction), razor blade trimming and I'm done and on to the next
issue.
