I'm trying to fit a new dash top and all new windshield rubber.  The dash
top is in, and I just tried a trial fit of the windshield frame with the
gasket in place.  It appears that there will be a gap between the gasket
and the car body, even when everything is tightened down.  The gasket and
dash pad are from SS.  So, the questions:

Should the windshield frame be sitting on top of the SS dash pad?  It is is
thicker at the front than the original that I removed.

 Has anyone cut the SS dash top back so that the windshield frame gasket
sits directly on the body?

And the ends of the dash top seem too thick, also holding the windshield
frame up..  Has anyone done some mods to this area?

Hopes of getting the car ready for British Car Day next weekend seem to be
dimming.

Or am I just missing something obvious?

Stu

                Seems to me there was a chalk seal between the gasket =
and the dash pad, body metal

I used Mortite, Weatherstrip and Caulking cord =E2=80=93 it seemed =
similar to what I saw there upon removal.

=20

Its been way to long to remember any other details of this assembly.

Hope others have more details for you.
