Moss sells two grades of windshield glass; one Triplex and the other one is
quite a bit less expensive. The less expensive one is also not as thick, or at
least that was the case about four years ago. If you bought that one, it could
be the reason you are having trouble finding the right glazing strip. If you
use the thinner glass and have the bonnet up, it might lift the metal trim
piece off of the windshield while driving at speed. I mentioned this to Moss
when I returned the thinner glass to them. I just checked their website and
they still don?t mention the thickness issue.

It is pretty straight forward Michael however I have had difficulty finding the
correct thickness of Everseal glazing strip.
The other trick is to ensure that you replace the series of little wooden
blocks top and bottom between the seal and the frame because if you omit them
the top bow will never meet the frame in the center.
Don't ask me how I know :-)

I now have my windscreen pieces re-chromed, a new Triplex piece of glass and
the rubber glazing. Is there any tutorial on how to put the windscreen
together correctly, video or otherwise?
