You get the flat piece of rubber, and fold it into the channel. Then you push the glass into it.

Like this....

Then you do the same with the bottom, and you will need to cut the ends to mitre the corners, finish by CAREFULLY drilling diagonally at the corners so you can fit a screw at each side. I will say it is definitely not easy. Use 'Mr Muscle' cleaner to help ease the glass into the rubber seating.
