If it dries too quickly, spray on more until you can bring the frame sections together. The WD40 will evaporate and you will have a good fit. An old glass man taught me that. Paul Selfe.
The glass man who sold me the windshield and glass setting tape told me NEVER use WD40. Something about it continues to allow the tape and glass to move. Anyway his advise was window cleaner to lubricate the glass. It could be you have the wrong thickness glass tape. JMO
