[Shotimes] Re: windshield replacement - Stripping

[MonsieurBoo@aol.com]

Dave:  "I replaced the windshield in my 94 ATX. I had a used one, but 
couldn't get the weatherstripping that goes  around it. That comes with the new 
windshield, which I got for $187 installed ... ps   I did find a place to get the 
weatherstripping later, but it would have been $125.00 for just that alone."

Y'all anticipated my problem -- as always.  My Gen2's windshield stripping is 
messed up kinda weird.  At the top corners (passenger side especially) it's 
"everted" or twisted inside out in a forwards direction like there's too much 
tension on the outside lip, causing it to pull away from the body and pout 
forwards, sort of like one-half of a, well never mind.

I figured on just changing that strip before much longer because the glass is 
fine.  Now it sounds like it'll most likely have to be "all or nothing" since 
the RUBBER* is so expensive on its own.  (I'm not rash enough to try this 
myself in the parking lot BTW.)

So OK, I'm fine with that but in the meantime what's up with this stripping 
anyway?  Is there any way to heat or beat it back into compliance?  Last resort 
I can squirt everything full of silicone glop and try to duct tape it down 
till it sets.  Any more elegant suggestions?  TIA

it warping like unto an over-microwaved cheap tupperware lid.
