Success in getting my windshield back in but.... a couple of problems.
First, the angle of the windshield and the drivers side door isn't too bad.
The door closes and no gaps. However, on the passengers side, the door won't
close because the seal is too tight at the bottom of the vent but there's
nearly
a 1/2" gap at the top. The door alignment isn't that bad so adjusting the
door won't likely close that gap much. Can't figure out why the angle on the
drivers side is okay and so far off on the passengers side. I thought the vent
window might give some adjustment but it's as far as it will do. Is there some
other adjustment of the windshield I'm missing?
Second problem - when all is tightened down, the pillar seals don't have a
nice tight fit on the body. They're supposed to flatten out but they're barely
toughing the fender and don't really seal at all. Is it possible that the new
rubber windshield to frame seal just needs to settle in and then I'll be able
to pull these down tighter?
As always, any help is appreciated.
