Thanks for that. Will try local windscreen place who did the job first up.
If unsuccessful will go with Michaels idea or the stainless rod
Many thanks to all for the replies

John,

Lots of interesting feedback from others but the bottom line is that the
glass in the channel needs to actually be bonded there by the sealing
channel as it was originally. Many years ago I had a '62 BT7 with original
glass that had never been disturbed in its frame until we suffered a flying
stone that caused it to crack from top to bottom. Removing the original
glass was a devil of a job because it was literally bonded in the channel.
The replacement glass and after market sealing rubber always allowed the
condition you described until I went to a professional who reinstalled it
with a rubber strip that expands when exposed to clean oil. This locked it
all in place and the problem was solved.
