Thanks Mirek, unfortunately Spaenaur no longer carry it in the thickness re=
quired. The stuff I have purchased only swells about 0.004" after soaking i=
n oil overnight, I'm wondering if there's something wrong with it.

Hi Michael,
No experience with the urethane, but regarding original type rubber seal I =
have had great success with mine in the BT7. Rich Chrysler installed mine =
about 18 (??) years ago. I am quite positive he sourced it from Spaenaur i=
n Kitchener. I seem to remember doing it with him and him remarking that t=
here is not a lot of working time with it as the oil works on the seal quit=
e quickly and there are all the fussy corner pieces in the Healy frame to g=
et right. Anyhow, it got done and not a problem since.
Best, Mirek

Subject: [Healeys] Windshield glass installation
The windshield glass on all Big Healeys prior to the BJ7 was "set" into the=
frame using a product called Everseal.
This is apparently an unvulcanized rubber which, when coated with engine oi=
l swells and is meant to keep the glass tight in the frame.
I haven't had the best of luck with this stuff and have found that after a =
few years it tends to dry out and the glass comes loose in the frame, parti=
cularly on quarter windows as in BJ8's and MGB's.
I'm contemplating using urethane glass setting adhesive on my BN2 windshiel=
d.
Anyone have experience with this?
