What I did with mine was put the glass into the rubber and fitted the glass from inside the car with a coating of black Stixall ,then with a bit of 2x1 screwed across the glass to retain it until the Stixall cured. When I had held it in tight with the 2x1 I used a garage wet wipe to remove any residue from the exterior paint work.
Todays top tip : if you are siliconeing around a basin etc , use a wet wipe to go over the silicone rather than your wetted finger, it leaves a lovely finish.

Have a look at www.southwalesaustinsevenclub.co,uk. They have an article on fitting rear windows. Usually a two man job. John

This confirms my findings and is exactly why I am about to do.
At least now I know its the correct thing to do.
Thank you.
