     Listers,
     
     All this talk recently of wind and chrome windshield finish strips 
     reminds of a problem I need your help with. Last summer I changed the 
     windshield rubber seal on my TR4; the old one was in very bad shape. 
     The new one looks great, but it must be slightly thicker in cross 
     section. Now I can't get the metal bar, which goes across the front of 
     the hood, to fix properly into the windshield gutter. If I drive at 
     more than 50mph, it comes undone.
     
     You'll probably tell me that TRs are designed to be driver with the 
     hood down anyway, and I agree. Unfortunately my wife doesn't. 
     
     Has anyone else come across this problem?
     
     Any advice is welcome...
