Oops, I forgot I already suggested McMaster-Carr. That "D" shaped material you got from Lowe's looks pretty good. The McMaster-Carr weatherstipping you got was exactly the style I was thinking about for your build.
The McM/C weatherstripping looks like it was custom made for my cab. I'm really glad you mentioned them because even though we buy things from them at work, I wouldn't have thought to look there.
There's a 50% chance I'll get the cab back together on the Kubota today. It depends on how the window adhesive is setting up. I glued them in Wednesday afternoon and although the tube says the adhesive is popular due to its fast skinning and curing, it was still pretty gooey last night. It took a fair amount of force, but the glass could be wiggled slightly as late as yesterday afternoon. My plan is for a finish bead of black silicone on the outside. I assume the window adhesive needs air to cure and I'm hesitant to run the silicone and block that air route.
When I glued the glass in, it was with everything laying flat and it's still in that position. Excess adhesive was squeezed out the back (or inside) of each assembly and will need to be trimmed off and the glass scraped clean. Since there won't be any silicone applied on the inside, the adhesive will still be exposed to air on that side.
