Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I've put a couple around the windshield of my 37 twice in the past 17 years. No problem. I think the 37/38 are the same. What do you think the problem is??....or at? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 | I had no problem installing the seal around mine. I have a new windshield frame and a new gasket.
Did you lubricate the gasket before inserting it into the frame?

Gave up after a few days of fussing. Ordered another from Steeles Rubber Products that was great. It has a butt joint to fit and glue, but works fine. Steeles can give you the name of the proper 3M adhesive to use on the butt joint. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 29 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 29 | I did not lubricate the seal. I got it form a gasket dealer at a car show, & he sold it to me with 3M Adhesive. I was instructed to use the 3M in the channel, relief cut the corners and glue them with CA as well as the joint. One big mess later I gave up. | | |
