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
oil 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,
particularly on quarter windows as in BJ8's and MGB's.
I'm contemplating using urethane glass setting adhesive on my BN2
windshield.
Anyone have experience with this?
