It has been a while since I did one but I have successfully done both TR=
6 and Spitfire windshields by fitting the seal to the glass and pulling =
it into position from the inside with cord wrapped around the seal while=
a helper or two pushed (gently) from the outside. I believe I sourced =
my seals from TRF. Haven't heard anything about mis-sized screens befor=
e. Good luck! =

Before I lose my mind....too late for that....thought I'd pick on more e=
xperienced minds for advice. In waking up my 76 Spitfire from it's 10 ye=
ar nap I thought I'd replace the windshield. Found the kit deal from Vic=
ky Brit on sale and got it. First read everything from all Triumph sites=
. Extra thick rubber seal can be a problem, mounted it on car, found no =
clearance from dash on lower corners and shaved em a bit to 1/8" clearan=
ce. Got windshield in on 3rd try with lots of muscle and Vaseline in bod=
y groove and soap in glass groove but can't get it settled. Bottom & top=
perfect but at both sides seal is up from glass as if glass is 1/8" too=
wide. Vicky Brit glass? Seal? Any thoughts/advice appreciated. =
