When the glass was installed in my 54 they did the rope from the inside and used a soap/water mix to lubricate things. The rubber was placed on the glass then fit to the opening. The corner glass was a bit different as the rubber was cut so an extra length was there. Once the majority of the glass was in place the seam location was set and the extra trimmed to fit.

They used the plastic glass sticks to help coax the rubber into place. It was money well spent in my opinion.
