[TR] windshield seal.......nafziger forgot to mention for tr-3

[Hdefer]

  Is a seal needed here or do I use silicon sealant of some kind?



I would stick with the intended glazing strip. I found it to be quite  
a job, though- a rubber mallet is very useful here. I had to start  
over three times before I got it right. Fortunately,  you can get the  
needed experience by doing it over and over again without much risk  
of damaging the frame ,windshield or strip.
I considered using silicon after the first two attempts; am glad  
didn't. It's messy, often hard to remove and not original.
