Windshield Seal BN-2

A group of us were having a discussion today and I was told that Agatha's windshield seal is not correct in that I have it rolled into the inside of the vehicle. I was told that it should be outside and just lay on the cowl. I argued that I have seen it both ways and I personally liked the looks of it rolled in. I also added that it made for a tighter seal.

Anybody have a clue as to the 'correctness' of the seal?

On 99% of the cars, the seal is outward. The same way that the factory did it. See attached pic.
I guess you can do it whatever way you like best.

If that seal is flapping you are going a whole lot faster than any Healey I want to be riding in. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif
