I have cut the glass larger and use a molding from a later model to glue them in and look and little smoother too. Looks pretty good on some.

My issue is not so much in the corners but the vertical area between the corners. The gasket is just wide enough to cover the flat area on outside of truck and the groove for window frame only about 3/8 deep. If I add cord to truck side groove the gasket wont sit evenly around truck opening. It would probably correct it on the windows side however. That I think would help it to not leak I think but leave gap on truck side of opening vs window side. I might try this and also cutting gasket once in bottom center and taking the slack out then glue back together. Gasket seems to be about an inch to large
