[Healeys] Replacing BJ8 windshield seal

[David Nock BCS]

Remove the frame from the car and take it to a windshield glass shop and have them replace the seal. You will spend hours and hours and most likely ruin at least one seal trying to install yourself.

Subject: [Healeys] Replacing BJ8 windshield seal

I'd like to replace rubber gasket between the windshield and body on my BJ8.    

>From the archives, the job looks like a PITA.  Is this job normally done with the windshield in place, and I slide the new seal in a little at a time?   

Or should I remove the windowshield/frame from the car and install the new seal?  It looks like the windshield frame attaches to the body with three bolts on either side...  would removing the windshield from the car, putting the seal in place with the windshield off, then putting the whole thing back on be easier?

thanks,

Tom
