[TR] TR3 Windscreen glazing

[Andrew Uprichard]

I worked with the cloth materials which I think you can get from Moss, so I
cannot address using rubber.  Since the purpose of the glazing is a tight
seal, I see no issue with avoiding the corners except for the risk of small
gaps and rain getting in.  But given all the other gaps in a TR3, I don't
know if that's a problem.

I saw the posting about going to the experts, but I've heard of experts
breaking the glass and ruining the window frame.  Your call. Good luck!

Andrew:

I did a bit of a dry run with the glazing (this is rubber and not the
original cloth like material that was used by the factory) and found it very
hard to avoid all binding on the corners. It would require lots of cuts and
removal of rubber. Would you think it could be okay to only place the
glazing on the straight sections of the windscreen (sides, top and bottom)
and not do the corners?  Other Lister's experience in doing this? Thanks.

I used epoxy to glue the glazing to the glass (trim at the corners) and then
a lot of soap and water to get it into the frame.

I am curious if there is any advice on best to install the rubber glazing
around the windscreen and fitting this into the frame.  Seems like a tight
fit.  TIA
