VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - 1929 windshield drops down

I know I posted this a couple of years ago, but I'm wondering if anyone has a good way to keep the glass from dropping out of the steel channel when the windshield is raised up especially during hot weather. I purchased the glass setting tape which seems to be a soft rubber compound and I closed the channel as tight as I could without shearing off the tape when I push it over the glass, but it will drop out of the channel after about a half hour of hanging. My thought is I should try sandblasting the edge of the glass. I am wondering if the automotive glass installers have some kind of adhesive or tape which would have more grip. I'm curious what others have done.
Thanks

I was afraid to hit the glass on my 31 Cabriolet so I used long padded clamps to pull the side and windshield glass into the frames and channel. I used dawn on the side windows. Then the windshield glassman told me to use motor oil on the windshield tape. It was a mess since the last side has to be pulled on with it on the car but it all worked and nothing cracked.

It's together with new tape.
I used bungee cords, plastic padded clamps, a plastic hammer and water with a little soap. It's tight!
