The rear glass was installed with a modern 3M windshield urethane adhesive rather than the tar-like butyl tape that was used in 1971. Originality is important in this project, but there is no denying how superior this modern urethane windshield adhesive is.
Unfortunately, too much urethane was used. Unlike a piece of glass on a modern car, the bead of sealant holding the glass onto the hard top is visible and isn't hidden behind any sort of trim. After a long process of removing the excess with lacquer thinner, this got cleaned up.
Even with all of that, the result looks really good and should be a strong seal.
