John,
Check out Restoration Specialties 
http://www.restorationspecialties.com/2009%20Catalog%20ebook/2009%20Catalog%20ebook.pdf
Page 32, glass setting tape, all rubber.  Measure the channel in the 
frame and subtract the thickness of the glass, divide by two, and that 
should be the thickness you need.
The rubber is partly vulcanized, so it wraps the glass easier and self 
seals at the joints.
