From the HAMB:
"The replacement rear window is 1/8" Lexan polycarbonate, it's formed to the correct shape, but it's for a race car, so it's designed to be riveted in place. I got it from GlassTek, who also made the doors, trunk lid, etc. I'll use the rubber gasket, which will require trimming the window about 5/8 of an inch all the way around, and also I'm going to have to add some filler to make it fit in the wide slot in the gasket. I have some sticky rubber tape, an inch wide, 1/16" thick that I ordered just for this. We'll see how it goes."
I wonder if the urethane trick I used with the Mustang windows might help fill the gap. I used the approach mainly to make sure the glass was sealed but I noticed that the front glass was loose in the gasket after install an that the urethane really locked it in. We used bedding compound in the gasket to body joint and installed the glass with the gasket to glass joint dry. Here is the video in the urethane install:

Sometime in 1966 my dad ordered a 66 Mustang GT. This was his first brand new car. The first pictures that we have of the car are from 1967, where we can see

I expect urethane would work, but I won't use it on an old car.

I don't expect anyone to ever have to take the door shells apart. But glass (and it's plastic replacement) needs to be replaced....
The glass in the older cars was installed without adhesives, I like to keep it that way.

there were no factory Hemi SS cars, were there? they were built by another outfit
I'll probably use straps, but not seat belts, they're kind of big and heavy and bulky. only needs 1" strap at most. The regulators are really heavy...but they do keep the windows from tilting, so I need to figure out another way to fix that issue, I have ideas, but it will take more time.

Velcro was invented in the 50s. but I probably won't use it on the door straps.
