Is this weatherstripping supposed to be glued in place? Putting in new glass and found it as you see.

It has been a while since I did a 1956 but as I recall there were a couple of small screws that held it in place. Wasn't glued as I recall. Please look where the strip would fit in the upper part of the door and see if you see any small holes.

Jon I just went out and looked. There are two screw holes up forward but they mount the vent window frame. Nothing else there. What made me ask was becaues I watched a you-tube video and the guy used a black adhesive.

That black adhesive (which is actually just black contact adhesive and I think 3M makes the best) could be used. Just follow the instructions...

Well it's done now. Thanks Jon. BTW to the rest of you, if you've installed the vent window and you're having a really hard time pulling the side window up to install it, check to see if you set it down in the door backwards. 🙃
