Apparently your not famillar with the GT6/Spitfire family. The windscreen
frame is most certainly removable. On the GT up to the MK3 body and the
Spitfire up to the MK4. That 'rubber' strip is in fact the seal between the
frame and the body. There is also a seal at the top on the GT. These are a
real pain in the a * * to replace. On the Spit its no big job, but on the
GT your looking at tampering with the headlining. If you've never done this
LEAVE it to someone who has! I've done both, don't know if I would do the
GT again! BTW it is not just glued on, it is positioned under the full
width of the frame on top of the body ( sandwiched between them.)
