glass setting tape help

[Rick4076]

I have a problem trying to find glass setting tape to put my new vent glass into the frame of my 1970 C10. I purchase a new vent glass from LMC truck and it measures about 3/16 (.1865) thick where the original measure about .2 or so. The ID of the frame is about .3535, the glass is .1865 which leaves a thickness needed of about .167. Divide that by 2 I am needing a tape thickness of about .0835. I can't find any tape that thick does anyone have any ideas? I purchased a rubber seal from LMC as well and it is to thin. I was thinking maybe I can urethane that into the frame then urethane the glass into it. I think I did the math right, any ideas???

Urethane works, but it's very permanent. I've used it before with good results.

Another alternative would be a local glass shop. They usually have a variety of thicknesses and would probably be willing to sell you some.

windshield urethane works great, as stated above

Truck and car shop sells different thicknesses of glass setting tape.

Go to the glass shop. I have done both and I will never try setting tape again. Guy at the glass shop had it in in no time and I don't think he charged me anything.
