Tailgate glass to roof seal

1982 Cherokee tailgate refurbish.
I am replacing the seal that guides and seals the tailgate glass to the roof. I have a new seal but no instructions. Mine was completely gone so I could not see how it was installed.
I would appreciate information on how others have done this. Do you start at one end and work around or start in the center and work both ways? Each end has a hole in it. I see what looks like a rivet in the body about where the seal ends. I guess it was riveted on the ends.

I started in the center. Used a piece of 1/4" aluminum about 6" long with the edges rounded to seat the clips and aluminum pop rivets at the ends.

Im about to do mine on my 73 so I'll follow along. But had a question. Did you replace the seal between the glass and stainless trim along the top of the actual glass for tailgate?
Bjs dosent have a seal so trying to figure out what to do

Me? '84 Didn't have the stainless trim on the edge of back glass. I assumed it was "glued" on with some sort of caulk.
