[Mgs] MGB pillar/vent window seal

[John DiFede]

MGB pillar/vent window seal

I was going to replace the seal on the  windshield pillar which meets  
the vent window frame. After struggling with the old one a bit, I  
discovered the aluminum retainer INSIDE the seal cavity attached with  
two screws. So, one installs the new seal, slides the retainer  
inside, puts two HOLES in the new seal, install screws and puts  
sealant on the holes. I can't imagine the need for for this. I think  
the channel retainer will be quite adequate. What have others done?

Allen, When I replaced my seals, I made the two holes to attach the screws.
Use an awl to punch tiny holes and use a small screwdriver to insert the
screws.  I did not seal the holes. The rubber seal will expand and make the
holes almost invisible.
