[Healeys] BJ8 window frames

[randy dickson]

I did this on my BJ7 last winter and indeed, the Moss seals were too thick.
I used thin 700c bicycle inner tubes, of which I had plent of lying around
the garage.  Worked great.

Hi, Herb -

Do what I did after trying the crappy Moss rubber that did not swell:  take
it to your local glass shop.  They can install the glass using modern
materials.  It cost me a total of $20 for both sides, which is about what
the useless rubber strips cost.

I am replacing the side window glass in my BJ8. What is used to secure the
window frames to the glass? The archives yields posts referring to a rubber
seal that is installed into the channel, then the glass and then oil is
applied to expand the rubber. Other posts say this does not work and Moss no
longer sells the seal. What is a guy to do?
