[TR] TR3 Lower Windscreen Seal

[wbeech at flash.net]

I tried that too, it doesn't work... Even though you were probably able to
slide the old one out. 

Lay the seal out along the windscreen, be sure to have it facing the right
way as it is directional, against the track of the windscreen.  Then set one
side of the lip of the seal into the track and work the other in with a dull
flat screwdriver or putty knife.

It goes fast and easy, I never thought it would until I actually did it.

Enjoy!

Subject: [TR] TR3 Lower Windscreen Seal

     I am replacing my windscreen and putting in a new seal that goes on the
bottom of the windscreen to the cowl. I am using dish soap as a lubricant
and I can only get the seal to slide in about 3" before it binds up. I am
tugging on it with a pair of pliers to get it coaxed in, but no luck. What's
the trick? Can I install it sliding the big lip and then pushing the short
part in with a screwdriver or something?
     Gotta get it fixed today so I can drive it to work tomorrow.
     TIA,

     Bill Brewer
