I was curious what other manufacturers supply/recommend in the way of inner and outer trim for the windshield? Sabre recommends a stock rubber trim that is basically T shaped with an L at the base of the T that extends under the glass. The cross of the T covers the gap between the glass and the body. Even though this material comes in rolls (no formed corners) it supposedly turns the corners without puckering. Not sure what to use on the inside. Do the Aussie windscreens come with inner and outer gaskets? John gets his glass from England which apparently does not come with gaskets. Even though John's position is that the radii of the outboard lower corners of Aussie glass are too large, I would think that the gaskets (if they exist) would work with the English windscreens as well. My assumption is that both types of glass use a "glue in" system for attachment.
Bye-the-way, I plan to make extensive use of rubber well nuts for attachments on the exterior of the body -lexan, mirrors and license plate frame/light. My theory is that these will provide good anchors, absorb vibration and apply pressure evenly to the fiberglass without tending to crack or chip it. I have already mounted a few interior items using these like the overhead map lights. All hardware, where possible, will be stainless, countersunk, allen head screws with stainless finish washers. I am using nylon flat washers underneath for the lexan. Any comments or criticisms gladly accepted.
