No Question, the whole assembly has to come off the car.You'll need something
thin, but blunt, to push the rubber into the channel- like a thick butter knife
that's been ground blunt. I tried using something plastic, but it takes a fair
amount of force in places and plastic tends to break.
Good luck, I hope I never have to do that job again!

div.yiv6454100347WordSection1 {}#yiv6454100347 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. ?Steve ByersHBJ8L/36666BJ8 RegistryAHCA Delegate at LargeHavelock, NC?

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_______________________________________________
