Wedge window runner seal.
Discussion
When I was searching for replacement channels (that the glass sits in), I ordered what I thought were the correct one from Grimmers, together with matching rubbers. Had to return the channels as they were wrong, but I kept, and have already used, the rubber on the N/S window when I replaced the channel with a good S/H one. If you want I can look up the reference?
I did this job on a Jaguar once and it was a nightmare. I used a bike inner tube and glue but obviously didn't either leave it long enough to dry or didn't force it in hard enough. (don't forget side glass is toughened and hence brittle). When I went to put the window down a few days later, the glass stayed shut and the bottom glass holder lowered. I had to do the work all over again, and stripping the door panel on a Jaguar is a job in itself. I got there in the end after a lot of swearing with plenty of cuts and bruises. Take your time Mark and don't rush this job if you want success first go. Wait for a nice warm sunny day. There should be plenty in September as we haven't had a decent day in August.

you called....
Yeeaass.. i did do this a while back.. used a landy runner and some old scraps of rubber to seat the glass into.
below pics are before the runner was changed..
my fix lasted about a month or so, the rubber has worked its way out and now needs redoing... thinking of using a bike inner tube as suggested previously with some contact adhesive. however the mini rubber above does look like it would do the job spot on so may go that route..
Once the door card is off ( for me approx 5 screws) it was a fairly simple job of removing the glass and changing the runner..
