[TR] TR6 Windshield to Scuttle Seal

[chip19474 at aol.com]

Bill,
 
The seal should fit flat without any bulges.  I first thought that you  had 
picked up something under the seal during installation that's causing it 
not  to lay flat but evidently it's bulging on both sides.
 
These seals are made long so that when they're installed they run long  
about 2 inches beyond each lower windscreen frame.  The deal is that  the extra 
length gives you a chance to trim the seals nicely to fit the  
weatherstriping.  It sounds like maybe you thought you needed to have a  final fit for 
the seals flush to the windscreen frame and perhaps bunched  the seal inward 
to cause a bulge???
 
They definitely do not require windscreen sealant to lay  flat.

I am reinstalling my windshield. After bolting it down, the MOSS  sourced
windshield frame to scuttle seal  bulges out about 3 or 4  inches in from 
the
windshield lower corners. It looks like a water trap. I  didn't use a 
sealant
on the seal because I live in an arid climate. I've  been thinking about 
using
a water cleanup clear latex sealant to glue it on  with the windshield off 
of
the car.      Any  suggestions?
