The Ford Barn

I have a late 31 coupe with original rear window wood and frame. The glass U channel rubber has dried and cracked causing the window to rattle. I removed the frame and glass and ordered a new U channel from one of the vendors. When I received the U channel rubber I noticed it was only about .4" overall width while the original rubber is about .625 overall width. This causes about a .25 gap between the frame and the window. I have searched this forum and others for someone that may have had a similar problem but could not find anything. Has anyone experienced a similar problem. Is there more than one style rear window rubber U channel and perhaps I was sent the wrong one? Is it possible something changed with the late 31 coupes?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
