Default Window Setting tape

I note that the vent windows use a setting tape? I of course do not have any and do not want to wait a month to get it. What I pulled out of the vent windows was more like a formed rubber gasket. Unfortunately it got mangled on the removal. Anyone got a non mickey mouse replacement that will set and hold the vent window in the frame securely?

When I did my 65 c10 I used black polyurethane adhesive.

But I don't ever plan on taking it apart

Glass mounting material? : https://www.paragoncorvette.com/p-35...-material.aspx

It's like a rubberized cloth or canvas. I ended up reusing the original pieces. The new stuff was too thick to get it all the way in.

Found some, I think? They call it "Everlast tape" here. The guy gave me the thinnest stuff they had, so will give that a try.
Thanks for the info

Thats good as it does come it different thicknesses. But I think thin is what you will need.
