The setting tape you found is what was used originally.
BTW, the service manual talks about using a little SAE 10 engine oil on the metal channel when installing. That may be enough to get the tape to go around the bends as it should. This project is in my future as well. It also recommends using a little gasoline to soften up the tape when removing the old glass. I did use that trick, but used something a bit less volatile than gasoline.
