Use some car inner tube or reuse the old one if you cant find a new replacement... use some waxoyle to lubricate whilst refitting NOT wash up liquid...

I've been looking for pictures for when I did the same. Good glass fitted to stainless surround.

Rather than forcing solid rubber anywhere, I used tiger-seal/sikaflex/mirrormate type stuff. Much easier. If I can get the pictures across, you'll see them below. If doing the same again, I'd use a black rather than white gloop.

So, with a clean glass and surround, gunk up the groove, push in glass, clean back overspill while wet, a stanley blade and those industrial wet wipes work wonders. Voila made to measure rubber gasket.
