For those of you who wrote me asking what I found out about what
sealants to use to mate the windscreen to the car again, Bob wrote
me with the following tidbit and I thought I'd pass this along to those of
you here who don't also read the general triumphs mailing list...
I've got some coming and will let you know how it works for me.
Bob seems quite happy with it.
