John,
I can only support Charlie4s suggestion. He gave me the hint a couple of
months ago. I bought the 3/64 thick material and I only can say it is the
right stuff and I am very satisfied.

John,

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.

replace the windscreen on my BN7. The old seal kind of looked like a
rubberized windlace material that came from M*** in '05 during my restoration.
The seal I recently received from M*** is a smooth thicker version that
basically looks like a cut rubber band. It does not want to cooperate because
of the thickness. It is just too thick!
