I'm not as conversant in the fastbacks, but I think they were as you 
describe.  As I recall there were two black pieces a few inches to 
the rear of the front edge of the glass, along the top and bottom 
edges, that appear to anchor the glass.  An interesting approach; I 
wonder why this wasn't also done on the squarebacks.  Possibly 
because the window being full width all the way back lacked the 
necessary flexibility.
