This is usually a job for a pro, they use a rope & 6 hands. Wait until you
try to get the chrome trim back in place. usually, the groove in the new
rubber does not match the spacing on the legs of the chrome trim. Thank you,
Taiwan.
Rather than screw up the head liner to put in a courtesy light, I got a rear
view mirror from a GM product at the salvage yard that had courtesy/reading
lights built in. The little shoe that glues to the windshield can be
purchased at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc. The mirror has a very small harness
of 3 wires. One is ground to the door switch, one is ground for the reading
light function, one is constant hot. The wires can be tucked along the cant
rail out of sight. Of course, remove the old mirror. You will really like
the larger mirror, as well.

Subject: Installing glass
Has anyone experience of installing the windscreen glass and/or the tail
gate glass on an MGB GT?
Is it a job for professionals?
If anyone is restoring a GT (mine will be Rover V8 implant) I would like to
hear from you - We can swap war stories. For instance - what about roof
courtesy lights in the headliner?
Regards
Barrie
