30+ years ago, when I made the first glass replacement quarter windows, 
the tempered glass was condiderably thicker than the Acrylic OEM 
version.  I haven't measured Rick's glass replacements, but I installed 
his Acrylic windows earlier this year, using the soft rubber he sells.

In addition to the thin electrical tape for glass, you might also use 
vinyl pipe wrap which is thicker, to help fill the channel gap. Any of 
these fillers will require a careful hand with an Exacto knife to trim 
them back to the perimeter channel.
