[Healeys] Windshield glass installation

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Hi Michael,

 

No experience with the urethane, but regarding original type rubber seal I have had great success with mine in the BT7.  Rich Chrysler installed mine about 18 (??) years ago.  I am quite positive he sourced it from Spaenaur in Kitchener.  I seem to remember doing it with him and him remarking that there is not a lot of working time with it as the oil works on the seal quite quickly and there are all the fussy corner pieces in the Healy frame to get right.  Anyhow, it got done and not a problem since.

 

Best, Mirek

The windshield glass on all Big Healeys prior to the BJ7 was "set" into the frame using a product called Everseal.

This is apparently an unvulcanized rubber which, when coated with engine oil swells and is meant to keep the glass tight in the frame.

I haven't had the best of luck with this stuff and have found that after a few years it tends to dry out and the glass comes loose in the frame, particularly on quarter windows as in BJ8's and MGB's.

I'm contemplating using urethane glass setting adhesive on my BN2 windshield.

Anyone have experience with this?
