Looking for some 1/32nd Inch Glass Setting Tape

I need about 18" of 1/32" glass setting tape. I need to reinstall one of the quarter window channels on my 66 Project and the local shops only have 1/16".

I think your writing of the channel packing tape? Which are of a couple different materials. One is a grey fabric with several thicknesses and the other is a black flexible material different thicknesses. The 1/16th tape is way to thick to work? Usually with some soap and water or silicone spray you can almost push the channel onto the glass with 1/16th tape.

I am referring to the black rubber tape, about 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" wide. The Quarter Window Channels I have fit pretty tight and I need the 1/32" tape for them. The channels are repops and are a little tighter than OEM. They originally came with the 1/32" tape, but I had to remove one (don't ask why) and the stuff is not reuseable.

Your local glass shop should have some they could either give you or sell you. More convenient that buying a whole roll that you'll never use up.

I know, right? I've checked a couple of the local shops to no avail. So here I am begging on the forum again..........
