Lock strip corner covers on rear early Barracuda glass
I'm getting ready to install my original rear glass in my '65 FS. I have the lockstrip reproduction from Classic Industries, and it fits, but lacks the bottom right and left corner covers. Classic also sells these:

I have the original metal covers, but they do not fit the profile of the lockstrip sold today, because of the different outside round profile, not the original indented type. One of the suppliers of the lock strip on eBay shows installation information in his listing on an early Barracuda (see below) and recommends cutting the ends of the lockstrip in the bottom corners so that the ends come together at the proper angle, then gluing them together, which looks fine in the pictures shown with his instruction sheet. Has anyone tried the Classic Industries corner covers? Do they fit properly over the new lock strip? There are no written reviews on the Classic industries site for the (pricey) corner pieces, but they look like they would fit the new lockstrip profile. Would appreciate feedback from anyone using either method for recommendations.
