Dash is in & wired! Windshield is on! New tonneau is on (and, boy, is it tight)! Interior is finished except for doors & cockpit surround!

I've got tomorrow to work on it, fly to wedding Thursday & return Sunday mid-day....then have Mon & Tues to work on it & leave for 12 hour drive to show "O-dark-30" Wednesday morning.

That's 3 days to finish it!

Now, here's my question....do I trim the windshield to body weatherstripping around the wiper? See photo below...

Stunning!

Absolutely stunning, Tony. I'm very disappointed that I won't get to see it in person.

On the wiper/weather strip issue -- by Bugeye has the weather strip just sitting on the wiper studs. It is not trimmed. No idea if that is original, but given the rest of the car it's certainly possible.

lookin sweeeeet!

theres no notches in my
old windshield trim,
it really shouldnt touch anywhere....

urs would look better trimmed
i think........z

Tony,
I'm pretty sure that the gasket folds and that edge goes up under itself. Here is a picture of mine. Looks like you may have a bit extra on that one. Shouldn't need to trim it..

Devin - when I lift mine, it looks like yours...

Can you roll the part that has the grey on it back underneath itself?

If I did, it'd leak....the grey is taclum powder I had on the string I used to pull the weatherstripping forward.

Tony,
I think there was a reason you had to use the string to pull it forward..I know, we went over this in the PM...not trying to repeat it, but just saw your post on the string.

JACK! Where are ya!? What's Ms Agatha look like!?

I've always used strings to pull new weatherstripping forward under windshields - it always wants to curl up on itself when its new.

& I don't think I've ever seen windshield weatherstripping folded back under itself.

I need to see photos of some other early cars with new weatherstripping.

Dang Tony, looks NICE!! Makes me want to go to LoO to see it and I don't even own a Spridget!!!

Tony, I'll take a picture of my windshield tomorrow. I have a question. Is your top dash pad aluminum under the vinyl? I know on Sprites they are covered but have no padding.
Oh yeah, AWESOME!

Its aluminum...& that's one of the dfferences between the early Sprites & midgets...Midgets had covered cockpit surrounds, Sprites didn't...also Midgets had covered pads under hteir dashes, Sprites didn't. , we've gotta compare only the early flat windshields

Remember, we've gotta compare only the early flat windshields on cas with no vent windows...all the other windshields & their weatherstripping are different.

Flat windshield I got. Pictures to come. It's the last thing on my car.
