<P>When I did a couple of BT7 windshields some years ago the Moss rubber was way
too thick. Even though it is rubber it isn't very compressible. I
measured the thickness of the glass and channel and determined what thickness
rubber was required, which I got from Restoration Specialties in Windber,
PA. They have an online catalog, but I think they call it glazing
tape. I put contact cement on the rubber and the windshield to keep the
rubber wrapped around while tapping the frame onto the glass. The new
glass wasn't at the same radius as the old frame and one of the windshields
broke down the middle after it was in a while due to too much stress on the
glass. Then I had to relieve the radius of the frame a bit to match the
replacement glass.<BR></P>

<P>IIRC, the discussion about 'too thick' rubber was for the U-channel seal,
but I may not RC. The glazing rubber we got from Moss years ago seemed
to be the correct thickness. I don't recall using a mallet or much force
at all, nor do I recall using any lubrication, but it was a long time ago.</P>
<P>Did you get the Triplex windshield, or the cheaper one? There may be
some issues with thickness between the two. We were able to reuse the
windshield that came with the car--I spent a day polishing out wiper
scratches--and AFAIK it was original, or an OEM replacement.</P>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Thanks Bob. I have the glazing rubber from
Moss, but I seem to remember a problem a while ago about the rubber being
too thick I hope not. The only other question I might have is, did you
use a rubber mallet? Do you need some kind of lubrication? It looks to
be a tight fit. Once it is on, I won't be able to move laterally if it's too
far to the right or left. Sounds like you have to get ot right the
first time.
