I forgot to add this to my last missive I sent out...

I removed (very carefully) my shroud to get to the underneath 
stuff.  When it came time to re-assemble some many months later I 
pondered over what I should use to stick it down.  Aggressive glue 
would be a no-no as to remove it in the future would be almost 
impossible.  I found a perfect product!  It sticks - but not 
aggressively, molds but not too much, keeps soft and pliable but not 
too much.  After some 25 years the stuff left in the box is still 
perfectly useable!   It is Proform Dum Dum !!  The maker is
Proform Products Ltd
430 Harrop Drive
Milton
Ontario  L9T 3H2

It is great for leaky windscreens.  You roll the stuff, which comes 
in worm like strips, to a match stick thickness thread.  Ease up the 
rubber gasket around your glass, drop in the Dum Dum, press back the 
rubber - and voila !!!   No more leaks and it lasts forever.   Also 
blocks holes, cracks and substitutes for playdough !!!
