Sorry, no toggles, but photos I have of a 1999 +8
show the windscreen rubber gasket facing forward,
so I reckon that's how the factory does them today.
My old '62 had the gasket facing back into the cockpit
and yet my recently rebuilt '57 has it forward-facing.
I suppose it's like hanging the toilet paper roll
which, as everyone knows, should have the top sheets
hanging down over the back.

...Also, I'm finishing a replacement of the windshield and have the
windscreen assembly off of the car. I now don't exactly recall whether
the rubber gasket on the bottom of the windscreen assembly was angled
forward, or tucked back under the bottom frame member (and so aiming
back toward the cockpit). The many pictures I've looked at seem to
suggest that the gasket strip should lie forward, touching the wiper
hubs, and extending sidewards so as to angle down flush with the
windscreen posts bolted to the sides. I've also been told, though, that
the preferred method is actually to tuck the gasket back under. What to
do? What's the readership's consensus?
Thanks for everyone's help. Mike Anderson
