[TR] tr3 w/s gap?

[Paul Dorsey]

The engine is running good. I've been admonished to turn my attention towards
other things.  The slave cylinder...no, I won't go there... IMME

Windshield Installation:
Not exactly remembering what I'd seen at car shows, I trimmed an end of the
new bottom seal for the windshield.  I only trimmed about an inch (or should I
speak metric?).  Since it was a trial fitting of windshield and stanchions (in
situa?), a gap appeared seemingly bigger than what should have been.  Surely
the age of my scuttle hasn't made it shrink?

The gap I'm talking about exisits on both ends of the windshield at the
bottom.  Whereas the middle of the car's windshield lays squarely on the new
bottom seal, the ends of the w/s are about 1/2" away from the top of the
scuttle.  I bought this new tinted w/s off ebay from a glass dealer, and it
was for a TR3.  It fit my fram ok.  What gives?
