That is what I was thinking of, but if it ever got broke it would be a bear to get the glass out of the frame. My friend took the glass and frame to a local shop and they were going to install it for $24 each. They called him in about 45 minutes and told him they could not do it. They told him federal law prohibits them from installing regular glass in the car. It is not safety glass, so he purchased 8' of the rubber tape and brought it home. It was only $6. They told him they did not use any kind of sealer or adhesive on them. I guess I will do it in a couple of days. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
