However, an open car frame only has a tube on the bottom of the frame and it more fragile. I can't think of anything to use to protect the curved bottom of the frame from damage and sliding from the pipe clamps.

Rusty,
Post #9 method worked for me also. I used Dawn soap at 100% (no water). I did not need to use any tools to get it to come together.

18 years and the glass is still good in the frame.
Good Day!
