I used these on the Gredge Mini and Defender are the same I believe you get the rubber strip with it ... I just needed to do a little bit of squeezing to get it tight to the glass but otherwise all good.

OK guys, thanks for all your help. the Wedge is now back on the road, fitting the parts only took an hour once they had arrived. Just a few things to note if you have to do it.
I bought the window rubber on ebay and I thought it included the channel as the picture above shows but you ONLY get the rubber for your £21.00. Not the metal channel.
You can buy the rubber as I found out later from C O H Baines Ltd part number:- IRS 0915 buy the meter for less money.
The metal window channel the part that actually carries the glass and rubber strip is Part number :- MTC8477. I bought on ebay from "Scientific World" for £12.00
The fit the rubber into the metal channel, then with the help of some soap and water push the glass into the rubber "U" channel, you will have to stop the rubber from folding over with something fine and stiff, a blunt knife etc. Block soap is best e.g. Palmolive etc.
Any way as I said thank for the help, Len.
