I found it hard enough to install a new seal with the frame off the car. I
think it would be impossible without removing the frame.
The problem I had was that it was easy enough to get the seal into the channel
on the straight section, but when trying to press it into the channel on the
curves, the seal wanted to twist itself back out of the channel.

Subject: [Healeys] Replacing BJ8 windshield seal
I'd like to replace rubber gasket between the windshield and body on my BJ8.
>From the archives, the job looks like a PITA. Is this job normally done with
>the windshield in place, and I slide the new seal in a little at a time?
Or should I remove the windowshield/frame from the car and install the new
seal? It looks like the windshield frame attaches to the body with three bolts
on either side... would removing the windshield from the car, putting the seal
in place with the windshield off, then putting the whole thing back on be
easier?
thanks,
Tom
