Hi!
Long story short...
I'm trying to replace the windsheild gasket on my 1959 M&M landau hearse. When I got the car the gasket was in bad shape and there was a gap of about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch between the rear bottom corners of the windshield and the frame. The previous owners filled this with silicone and other caulks.
Attempting to install the windshield, properly following the instructions, I'm having trouble getting the windshield far enough in to cover this gap. The gasket seems to be properly seated all along it's length except for those bottom corners.
Here's a pic of the problem.
My question is, for anyone familiar with this era M&M
hearse, is this possibly normal?
Was there this big of a gap?
Or am I installing the winshield improperly. Thanks!
