Difference = 17/32 = 0.53125
Div. by 2 = 0.265625 = tight, if expecting 0.5

I used a right angle held against the pinch weld and pushed to the top.
Same on the bottom pushed down.
Measured with a scale from the right angle edge to right angle edge.
Even with all this hoopla, paint, rust and unevenness of the window channel....

Thank You ! This really helps. The Steele Rubber thickness is .320/.325 so if you have .266 that means a crush of .054" which seems plausible. The "glass guy" said he needs .250 all around for it to fit well. Your measurements make his comments accurate. Appreciate the help!
