    Next thing we do is run down to Speedy Auto Glass (or the equivalent) and buy a 10'-0 length of steel glass channel. The kind that does not have the felt inside it and I used the rigid, not the flexible. This stuff has a gap of about 3/8" in it, to accept 1/4" thick safety glass, and the 1/16" thick rubber gasket tape that holds the glass in it. I don't remember how I bent mine (other than very carefully) ---probably I made a 1/4" plywood template and "persuaded" it around the pattern with my body hammer and low torch heat in the sharp corners.--Take your time here, as the inside of this channel will be visible from the inside of the car.
