The Ford Barn

Well Iam trying to install my two front windows in 1947 car. Have new glass and new rubber. I have put the rubber on to the glass and I either have too small glass pieces or the rubber seal is too big. I have always thought (not having done this ever) that the rubber seal would fit very tight around the glass before install. Then i am thinking that when installed it will compress around glass as it was pushed into place. Bought both glass and seal from reputable dealers so assume (not always a good idea) they are correct.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks as always guys
