Mike,
On my '52+4, the gasket on the bottom of the windshield is angled forward.
Seems to form a reasonably good seal that way and, at high speeds, the wind
tends to press it closer to the hood (bonnet).

Subject: Dash Toggle Handles
I've got a '62 Plus Four which on its dashboard has cream gauge faces
and cream (ivory) handles on the toggle switches - all except one, which
apparently was replaced with a bright white handle, presumably obtained
at a hardware store. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I might
be able to obtain the more correct ivory handle(s)? As I've heard
they're no longer readily obtainable, does anyone have one they'd part
with?
Also, I'm finishing a replacement of the windshield and have the
windscreen assembly off of the car. I now don't exactly recall whether
the rubber gasket on the bottom of the windscreen assembly was angled
forward, or tucked back under the bottom frame member (and so aiming
back toward the cockpit). The many pictures I've looked at seem to
suggest that the gasket strip should lie forward, touching the wiper
hubs, and extending sidewards so as to angle down flush with the
windscreen posts bolted to the sides. I've also been told, though, that
the preferred method is actually to tuck the gasket back under. What to
do? What's the readership's consensus?
Thanks for everyone's help. Mike Anderson
'62 Plus Four
