Harold, I am embarrassed that I can=E2=80=99t recall how I did it when =
I re-sealed the windshield 14 years ago, but putting the pillars and =
windshield together first is what I dimly recall. Regardless, I DO =
recall there being rectangular alloy shims in between the body structure =
and the posts. I recall coating them with something =E2=80=93 I think I =
used anti-seize compound (although I am sure there is better product), =
to slow down any reaction between the alloy shims and any steel they =
connect with.

Cheers, Mirek
