Here is a picture of an original rubber, a flattened out rubber (dry/cracked), a cardboard template, the new rubber, and a latch. The template is 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" with a 5/8" hole in the center.
Also a picture of the rubber held to the glass with black electrical tape. The steel channel was then pushed on.
The 3rd picture is the other side showing the rubber squeezed out.
Lastly you take a knife and trim all the edges.

Thanks! this is perfect! I'm in the process of repairing my sliding frames and I'll be ordering rubber from Steele Rubber soon. I'll be sure to add some of the tape to my order
