[Healeys] Healey Windscreen Replacement

[Mark Schneider]

A couple of years ago I replaced the glass in my BJ8 windscreen.   
Whenever I go to the difficulty of removing a component, eg., the  
windscreen from my car I go through the item fairly comprehensively.   
After undergoing the effort to remove the item from the car I see no  
reason to take shortcuts.  Mr. La Pierre's question seems to indicate  
the rubber weather seal around the glass frame may not have been  
replaced.  I don't know if the old one will now leak. But, I replaced  
the seal as well as the windscreen to car body weather seal and  
experienced no leaks at those locations.  However, I initially had  
major leaks at the bases of the pillars, where they pass through the  
body metal and down to the bolt mountings.  I recommend careful and  
thorough repacking of glazing putty around the area beneath the hole  
in the body metal.  Then test for water proof seal before the first  
deluge from Mother Nature.
