I repositioned the glass on the template by moving it up and just covering the top horizontal line (in effect doing what svr suggested w/o actually grinding it down) and the fit is much better, not perfect. The top radii fit better and the bottom looks about the same. I've got nothing to lose but try it and see how it fits. At least the bottom edges are larger than the template so they could be ground down. I need to re-read this thread and a couple of others and decide what felt channel to get. Here are the top pics "refitted".
edit - now I've got a bigger problem - I can't find the window regulators(s) and wing windows!
