Really? Cool. The Moss catalog specifically says to install the strip
(and joining
clip) first. But, I guess I'll try doing it after I install the
windscreen into the frame and see
what happens. Hope you're right, Lou, 'cause, once it's into the frame,
I don't want to
be taking it out again, anytime soon!
Cheers!
