On my '31 S/W, the window setting "tape" is actually a rubber strip. Somebody suggested using mineral spirits as a lubricant when assembling the glass to the channel. It worked great, and several minutes later it all evaporated, leaving the glass and rubber firmly seated in the channel.

I install the channel exactly as Don says. I've only done a few windows, but this method works great.
