Good morning, Group!

Reading the messages about that topic I found out, that probably I have
an
identical or similar problem:

After fitting the complete windshield to the body, and after fixing the
side windows to the doors, I got the following situation:

The gap between windshield and side windows is not parallel as it should

be. It diominishes from about 3/4 " (20 mm) on the bottom to 0 on the
top.

So it is also impossible to fix the rubber seals between windshield and
door!

See also the following sketch:

So I think, that there must be some kinds of washers or plates to be put

under the windshield frame at the location of the back bolts of the
frame.

Unfortunately I didnīt make any pictures or notes when disassembling the

car some (long) time ago!

So my question:

Can anybody assist me with that problem?
Does anyone know, if there are such washers or plates?
Where can I get them - or can anyone give me the dimensions?

Please respond, when possible, also with a copy to my office e-mail
adress:

Many thanks in advance, Andreas
