That's another reason I'm glad my TR4 is a very early one.  The later type
aluminum windscreen frame capping doesn't rust, but at least the earlier
chromed steel type is a lot more rigid and doesn't get mashed down as
easily.
 
Glad you finally solved the problem!

If cars had evolved as fast as computers have, by now they'd cost a
quarter, run for a year on a half-gallon of gas, and explode once a day.
