It is me piping in ! I am afraid I did not do the job myself. I was
advised by listers to have the windscreen put in by the pros! Which I
did, also the rear hatch glass. Sooooo they also did my seals. They said
they had had no problems - but these chaps are experts - do nothing
else! The bit that David (thanks again) provided went in fine but they
said it may not of been necessary - but I doubt that. The factory would
not have used suck a unique bit of metal just for fun!!! By the way if you
use glue - use the stuff they have for auto vinyl roofs !!!
