[Healeys] Windshield header rubber - BJ8

[David Porter]

Sounds like a job for the Permatex product called the "Right Stuff" it's
basically rubber in a can. I've used it with great success to hold window
glass in the regulator channel. It is compressible so works well as a seal.
Allow 24 hours for it to cure. Great product at all auto parts stores.

Probably there are other better suggestions out there, but I used
3M Upholstery adhesive with good results.  It keeps a good seal when the
hood's up and locked down and the seal hasn't come off in 25 years.  No
water leaking at all.
