Thanks Phil & Bob,

I am using original glass, the passenger side piece has turned to like a Jello/Jelly/horrible in the last 65 years.

Also the edge stuff looks like a bitumous tape but I cannot be sure. I have seen a similar stuff used but cannot recall where.

Phil I agree silicone sealant is a good option.. I will try the non-acidic type to seal and waterproof. As you say Phil, get it as rust free as possible............back to the sandblasters!

I appreciate your comments & ideas as collective ideas save time.

when removing; I used plywood to support the glass as I prized the frame open. This also took the stress off the glass, and saved me worry. The piece is 65 years old, & I am not about to wreck it on account of haste.
