The Ford Barn

I read somewhere to always put (felt?) between the wood and the steel on the Model A's. Then another question occurred to me. The majority of the wood surrounding the coupe rear window could be glued together before placement into the car. Would that be a good thing? Mine is out, as the rear window had been very hard to roll up or down. I found most of the problem was the glass channel had been made with a very thin metal and had lost its grip on the glass. All of the wood appears quite solid so I cut up toothpicks and glued them into the nail and tack holes, Now I'm ready to begin reassembling it, after a few parts arrive, and I wonder how to secure the felt to the wood. Elmer's white glue? Thanks in advanced for your replies.
