Thanks for all the kind words. It will be on display at the World of Wheels show, in Kansas City, MO at the Bartle Hall Convention Center, February 10th-12th. If you are in the area, drop in for the show.
short63, we use 3M Windshield Gasket material or Bead Caulk. I like the windshield gasket material because it comes in a roll and you can put down what you need and cut to length. The factory assembly manual shows a gasket material, but I not sure what was actually used. We have had good luck with this material & application method.
