Gents (and ladies),

Last weekend I put the windshield on my SV.  In addition to it being serious
unfun, I may have a problem.  The windshield is secure, and meets the doors'
vent windows correctly, the best I can tell.  The problem(?) is that at the
front, I can lift up the rubber weatherstrip and stick my little finger in,
maybe a half inch until I hit the dash pad, which is under the windshield.  I
am aware of shims, but don't wish to change the angle of the windshield.  My
concern is how weather tight it will be; I am considering caulking behind the
weather strip, but before I commit $5 worth of caulk to the project, I wanted
to know if anyone had a better idea, comment, etc.... am I on the right track?
All advice appreciated.

Many thanks,

Bill
