Default Windshield replacement question

I'm having difficulty identifying the windshield glass gasket or channel that surrounds the glass and fits into the windshield weatherstrip. (1962) AIM seems to refer to it as a channel assembly (3740253) but when I search vendors, I'm not coming up with anything. I am finding a "windshield glass to frame weatherstrip" piece. But don't know if that's correct.
Pic is a little/lot cryptic but it's the small channel that fits on the glass edge. I know lots of you folks have done this, help appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Here is the weatherstrip.http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1956-1962.html

I'm not sure what you're talking about on the corners. The "posts" are the only thing on a 56-62 corner.

Thanks, Mike. You have confirmed my suspicions.
