Hampton,
I'm down here in the Keys an hour or two south of
you. I have new windshield gasket that I got from Rory a couple years back
for my car. It is shaped with mitred corners, so a roll of the proper profile
material would have to be mitred and glued for the hard corners. The rear window
gasket is simply a roll because there are no hard corners. By the way, the front
and rear gasket profiles are very different. Both front and rear use a
plastic/mylar filler strip. The glass is all out of my car, so the new gaskets
are available for inspection/comparison if you like.
I also recently bought some front and rear
gaskets for my TVR Vixen (not the same profile as Marcos uses) from
Marshall Moore, who by the way is starting to carry Marcos supplies here in the
USA. You might try him at (540)-400-8310 or www.cmw-tvr.com to see what he has. Also,
try Hayes Harris at WireWheel up in Vero Beach to see if he has any
gaskets for the Marcos.
Finally, do you know what glass your windshield
uses? All I have ever seen are laminated glass with a plastic core like every
other windshield. My windshield is tempered single ply just like the rear
and side glass in most all vehicles. I've never seen another tempered
windshield, and, if I am correct, our cars are 51 units apart when built ( mine
is #5514), so I was wondering if you have a tempered windshield
also?
I hope this helps - Donny

the profile of the weatherstrip or where it's available? The roll that
I bought doesn't work as the windshield overlaps the body opening and I
have the same type as used on the rear perspex.
Thanks,
Hampton
