Never heard of such a thing before and never seen it on any Bugeye 
(perhaps I'm blind!).  I can imagine it being done if the panel under 
the windscreen is severly distorted but, a temporary fix for leaking 
under the screen is more probably a strip of black electrical insulation 
tape.  It was when the bonnet (hood) flew open and wrapped itself round 
the widscreen and roof on mine.  That 'temporary' repair lasted a good 5 
years!

A YouTube series from Canada about a Bugeye restoration latest episode 
addressed the windscreen to body rubber seal is supposed to be folded 
backorder the windscreen.  He then took  piece of plastic and began 
shoving the seal back under itself along the length of the windscreen. 
This is the first I have heard of this.  Anyone else do this with this 
rubber seal? In ictures that showed the seal in Terry Horler's Original 
Sprite and Midget the seal is not folded under itself.  Is this a 
Canadian thing?
