Before I lose my mind....too late for that....thought I'd pick on more expe=
rienced minds for advice. In waking up my 76 Spitfire from it's 10 year nap=
 I thought I'd replace the windshield. Found the kit deal from Vicky Brit o=
n sale and got it. First read everything from all Triumph sites. Extra thic=
k rubber seal can be a problem=2C mounted it on car=2C found no clearance f=
rom dash on lower corners and shaved em a bit to 1/8" clearance. Got windsh=
ield in on 3rd try with lots of muscle and Vaseline in body groove and soap=
 in glass groove but can't get it settled. Bottom & top perfect but at both=
 sides seal is up from glass as if glass is 1/8" too wide. Vicky Brit glass=
? Seal? Any thoughts/advice appreciated.=20
