I am in the process of installing new rubber gaskets between the windshield
and quarter light windows. I have adjusted the gap between the windshield and
windows to a consistent 3/8 inch. The new rubber gaskets when compressed by
finger pressure is greater than 1/2 inch. My concern is that the rubber is
thicker than the gap and will put to much pressure on my door thus causing the
crack of doom. One of the guys helping me restored an MGB years ago thinks
the seals are much thicker than the ones he used. I purchased the rubber seals
from Moss and have told them of my concern. Moss is checking into it but have
not heard back from them yet. I have a feeling they got an out of tolerance
bunch of gaskets. Has anyone replaced their quarter light seals lately and if
so, what is the measurement of the gasket when fully compressed with your
fingers?
Thanks
