I don't doubt that a simple straight channel fit with the proper thickness of tape would be pretty simple but when I tried to use it to set my vent windows I spent a small fortune and hours of time buying tape (and asking for advice here) in various thicknesses and there ain't no way it would work.
This is probably the more the result of the glass being thicker than anything else but that doesn't change the fact that there was way in hades that thing was going together before I'd break the glass or bend the frame.
At least that's my story... YMMV
