Hardtop windshield gasket on a convertible?

Here is a pic of what I did. This was 30 years or more ago and there is no telling
what that bottom strip came off of, but it was cuda or dart.
I did have to trim the ends to fit under the conv. end pieces.

This is a little crude but I placed a bead about 1" long of black sealant
spaced out like the factory clips would be 8-9 places. pressed the trim in, taped it down,
let it set up and it has held up to stupid speeds for a long time.

This car is on my list to re paint and this time I plan to remove the windshield.
The windshield has never been out of this car. It was re painted in 1993.
If you find a clean and better way please share I will be doing the same thing
you are doing in the next 2-3 years I hope.
