[TR] TR2/3 windshield problem

[Andrew Uprichard]

Installation is fairly easy if you first glue the glazing strip to the glass
(and trim the corners) and then use plenty of hot soapy water to ease the
glass into the frame.  

There's $80 saved !

Angelo,

My advise would be to get a new windshield.
I had the same problem on my 63 TR4 and tried to use a number of glass 
polish kits etc and the problem only got worse. I ended up getting a new 
windshield from TRF and had my local auto glass shop install it for 
about 80 bucks. I believe the glass was about 150 + shipping. Well worth 
the expense in my opinion.
