You might consider putting felt weather-stripping (for around windows =
=E2=80=93 hardware stores & home centers sell it =E2=80=93 at least up =
north here) on the header rail instead of the foam that probably came =
with your kit.  I=E2=80=99ve heard a number of people complain that the =
foam compresses after time and fails to seal.  I used felt on my TD =
header rail when restoring it 40 years ago and it still does not leak at =
the top of the windscreen (through the bolt holes, yes, but not at the =
top!=E2=80=94and it=E2=80=99s still the same top).
