The stanchions (side posts) of the windshield of the TR-2.s, -3's, and the
-3A's all did originally have gaskets between the lower boss of the posts
and the cowling. These were for the precise purpose that you state. I
replaced mine with standard asbestos gasket material. They were
originially of a paper-like material.
Cheers.
