I think things have changed at American Marine.I may be mistaken but I could swear that I paid less than a dollar a foot when I bought the weatherstrip from them 2 yrs.ago.
I do know that when I spoke to him(think it was Mike)he knew exactly which weatherstrip I needed.

Installing it is very easy.A couple 2" and 3" putty knifes with the corners rounded and the edges dulled a bit work great.
Start in a corner with the top of the small concave side lined up along the edge of the frame,and the flat side of the strip laying on the glass.
Slide the putty knife under the flat side and apply pressure while wiggling the blade a bit to push it in.You can tell when it's in place by feel and you'll see the flat side immediately flatten itself against the glass.

They(American Marine),also told me to use just a good quality clear silicone to bed the glass in place.They said this is what they use on all their current windshield glass.I used GE silicone.I did the glass one day and the weatherstrip the next.
