Reply to "Replacement Windshield & Gasket"

It is my opinion that many owners go with the glue in windscreen for aesthetic reasons. Its flush fitting and looks good with black out trim. Besides, the original stainless trim is a bitch to re-install and make fit flush. At a recent p-car outing I noticed that most of the cars that still have the factory windshield trim, fit horribly. We devised a system on my car to solve this. Since we are in the middle of a full restoration and there is no interior. We figured out that we could take a small piece of stainless steel wire drill a small hole a the bottom of the trim and thread it thru a corresponding hole thru the frame. On the inside the wire is pulled tight and held by a self-tapping screw. The interior trim hides the self-tapping screw. The result is a well fitting polished stainless steel trim that goes well with the rest of the polished SS trim. Just another idea.
