    Mark there is another type of window mounting rubber commonly used on cars and pickups from the mid 50s through the late 90s which did not have the lock strip.
    You stretched the rubber seal over the glass then wrapped a rosin cord around the outer grove placed the glass in place the best you could then from inside you pulled the cord from around the grove this would cause the lip of the seal to be pulled inside By the time you had pulled the cord all the way around the inner seal lip was in place, Job done. Again, dish washing liquid in the grove was your best friend.
