The rear glass uses a Butyl Tape to set the glass not a rubber seal. I believe it is 5/16 for the rear window and 3/8 for the windshield. I picked it up at the auto parts store. Autobarn/Advanced/Autozone/Pepboys all had the 3M Brand for around $15
I used 3/8 for both. Local automotive paint supply company and a local upholstery and trim shop had it in bulk. The first was the same box Year One sells and the latter all the parts that are in the box. All of them less than half the price. No shipping, no wait. Also I supplied the butyl to Safelite to install it instead of gluing in with their stuff. They balked at first...told them to leave the windshield and I would do it myself. They relented. I am glad they did 'cause it cracked six months later due to another issue. It came out easy. Bought new glass wholesale and put in in myself for half what Safelite charged me.
