Following some sage advice, we took our new windshield rubbers and glass (1958 Bugeye) into the only shop around and, after showing him newspaper clippings about the project, left with assurances of success. The shop had a number of late model cars with shiny new windshields, behemoth tool boxes and ancient girlie-calendars adorning the walls, so we assumed they had been around awhile, and the Sprite windshield should pose no significant challenge.
Yesterday we picked up the finished product to find the rubber had been installed backwards, and had been torn at one corner leaving about 1 1/2" of gap. Along with the windshield I was given a tube of black elephant snot and told "just tape off the area and squirt it in, no charge, its for a good cause."
Today I ordered a new rubber and have decided that we will try to do it ourselves after all. Could someone give us a step-by-step walk through this process?
Thanks,
