[TR] TR3 windscreen installation

[Don Hiscock]

I initially cut some rubber sheet to make a sort of gasket to protect the
scuttle paint on my TR3B.  It worked, but was way too noticeable.  I ended
up cutting some tough plastic film (leftover from ski protection, based on
Surlyn ionomer, but I'm sure other materials -- maybe even packaging tape
-- would work OK.
