[Fot] Windshield install

[Jason Ostrowski]

I hope I’m not too late to respond. 

It has been a known “fun fact”  for many years... 
Triumph GT6 race cars Must have OEM glass windshields to meet the strict Kastner cup eligibility requirements. 
The fake windshield was a bad choice. 
Advanced tip... the chromed plastic strip must be installed prior to setting the windshield within the rubber. 

The 4 part “period correct” install must include: 
1) OEM style rubber. (Continuous loop)
2) OEM style Glass windscreen. 
3) chromed plastic trim strip.
4) “Little clip” that joins the ends of the chromed plastic trim strip. 

Don’t screw it up.

The issue is the rubber surround from Moss motors - it seems small, doesn’t quite reach all four corners when I install it in the frame.  Anyone else had this issue, or am I missing something?  This should be the same install/part for TR4-TR6-Spitfire- GT6, as they all used the same windshield. This stuff isn’t very elastic - If I try to pull it into the corner, it pulls out of somewhere else.
