<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hey Guys,<BR> <BR>Thanks for the quick responses so far. In trying to keep the message short I did skip mentioning the rope trick. Did it but not as easy as I've read a number of times. And because the outer portion of the seal just won't settle down on BOTH sides it got me wondering about windshield/seal variables. The seal is definitely buried on the body ridges and nothing else makes sense in my mind. Was really wondering if anybody else hit this issue. <BR> <BR>Steve<br> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: machinemd@msn.com<br>To: triumphs@autox.team.net<br>Subject: windshield problem<br>Date: Wed, 6 May 2015 12:07:43 -0400<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">Before I lose my mind....too late for that....thought I'd pick on more experienced minds for advice. In waking up my 76 Spitfire from it's 10 year nap I thought I'd replace the windshield. Found the kit deal from Vicky Brit on sale and got it. First read everything from all Triumph sites. Extra thick rubber seal can be a problem, mounted it on car, found no clearance from dash on lower corners and shaved em a bit to 1/8" clearance. Got windshield in on 3rd try with lots of muscle and Vaseline in body groove and soap in glass groove but can't get it settled. Bottom & top perfect but at both sides seal is up from glass as if glass is 1/8" too wide. Vicky Brit glass? Seal? Any thoughts/advice appreciated. <br> <br>Steve<br> </div></div> </div></body>
