Just a quick comment on those windshield bumpers. I have a tech bulletin from 1937 that points out that you want to have the windshield frame contact those bumpers before the outside corners contact. The reason is the regulator has enough force to crack the windshield if closed tightly in that situation. There is less force on the window glass if the frame contacts the bumpers first.
As those of us who own trucks with windshield regulators know (before the 1947 Advance Design) they tend to leak in rain and during a car wash. Thus, we obsess with trying to get the closure as tight as possible.
You can adjust the height of the bumper by shaving the rubber to reduce or adding a shim behind the rubber to increase.
