Hello,
I had the same proble with my (former) PB. Having been at Silverstone at the
big MG meeting, I looked at several cars and I found the following solution:
Only the hot wire is to be put behind the glass sealing. The earth will be
done by the windscreen frame! (which was duly earth strapped under the
dashboard).
I do not know if this was strictly original as the factory did it in the
30's, but it works!
