Scott,

I can=E2=80=99t help with the fitment issue but if you have never had a =
poly windshield be careful. There is a process for cleaning them. I saw =
a brand new one get ruined 1st day when somebody just wiped it down with =
a super-soft cloth and windex. It was in a 911 RSR and the guy lost his =
job on the spot because he was supposed to know the proceedure.

I=E2=80=99m putting a polycarbonate windshield in the GT6 to shed a few =
pounds.  The issue is the rubber surround from Moss motors - it seems =
small, doesn=E2=80=99t quite reach all four corners when I install it in =
the frame.  Anyone else had this issue, or am I missing something?  This =
should be the same install/part for TR4-TR6-Spitfire- GT6, as they all =
used the same windshield. This stuff isn=E2=80=99t very elastic - If I =
try to pull it into the corner, it pulls out of somewhere else.

thanks, everyone - I had remembered putting the gasket on the car first, =
then the glass into it.  all the advice has been the reverse - gasket on =
glass, then the assembly onto the car.
Appreciate the collective wisdom!
