First: Installation is being done as an attempt to minimize water coming into the vehicle. In removing the old seal I looked for evidence of water migrating in and could find none. OK so let's put the new one on.
Well I immediately notice the old one did not have the flange or lip if you will that come up and covers the lower edge of the windshield between the hinges, so I thought well that's a plus .... right?
I got the new one installed and to seemed to go one just fine. Now to raise the windshield and bolt it back in place. I had read all the horror stories about getting it back in place already so I expected issues. Well I got it up and looked at the situation and realized I could use a new method and that worked. I should note that I had not removed my 'spreader bars' so this made my method workable.
So ...... WHAT is the problem ??????
It's that flange/lip that comes up and covers the lower edge of the windshield frame ..... it's not really all that 'tight' against the windshield and I am wondering if I should be concerned???
I am thinking I could in some way adhere it to the windshield but not sure what best to use ????
Anyone have any ideas?????
Oh and YES the WARM WEATHER has motivated me to get to work on this beast and I am sure I will have other questions as I get deeper into this.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!
