just a fyi some aftermarket sliders use the solid glass gasket the way they made them .

otherwise order the gasket for the option your installing .

when i did one years ago the gasket was a 1 piece no center lock strip . i soaked it in HOT water for 15-20 min to help the install . i also i used the rope trick and soapy water . BASIC blue dawn dish soap is GREAT no fancy crap soap . better to have a TRUSTED friend for help to push a little and help get it in place . there not bad to do .

i have done almost all my trucks glass swap outs my self . my buddy has had me do the last 2 sets of windshield glass in his peterbuilt .
