Welcome to the forum CM, Garrison Outfitters make a kit for the rubber:

It's a bit pricey and hard to get, but at least you'll know it works first go.

I took the window out, took the frame down to my local glazier, who fitted a piece of glass (same stuff windscreens are made of - cant remember what its called) using silicone. I brought it home and re-rivetted it in place. I cant remember exactly how mich it cost, but it was less than $100, and maybe half that.

Welcome , I agree with towe , talk to a couple of your local glass company's , tell them the size , and ask how much to cut you a bit of Laminate glass . There are a few post's about fitting side windows , or Gull windows , that should give you a bit of idea how they come out !!.. Jm ..
