Now you all got me curious so I went and checked mine. The gasket is glued to the body but not the glass. It has held well and not leaked for close to 20 years. I am very careful to not get into terrain that torques the body.
When we replaced glass on my 1978 years ago it took 3 of us most of a day to get it right. I ordered that glass from Newell. We could not get the glass to set centered in the gasket until we actually trimmed a bit out of the opening. Keep in mind that on the old classics the body around the windshield was aluminum.
