Hi List!
I have a friend that has an AL Windscreen Frame in his Austin Healy.
He told me a story of he or the passenger ( I can't remember now) getting out
of the car & using the Windscreen Frame as a support. Well that's when he
found out that his frame was AL, because there was an instant crack in the
Windscreen.
Moral of the story:
Don't have ANYONE use the Windscreen Frame
as a support for getting in OR out of your car. I also feel that goes for ALL
TRIUMPH models, even if it does NOT have an AL frame.
This is another reason
(among others) I open the door for the passenger (Male or female) when
getting IN or OUT. I would rather offer my self as an aid than have possible
damage to the car. BUT, That's just me!
