What type of Windscreen rubber for plus 2?

[Doctor924]

Hi
My 71 plus 2S came to me as a stripped shell so I am not sure whether the windscreen was bonded in or not. When i removed it it seemed to sit in a rubber seal, but there was lots of hardened black gunk around the screen edges too.I’m had to chip it off. Does this mean it was bonded?
Thanks
Ian

If it is a term I am not familiar with, why can’t you understand that?

Alan is asking for a photograph of the opening that the screen fits into and in particular the lower part of the opening where it meets the top of the dashboard.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Sorry to be a pain but could you take a photograph nearer the lower middle of the opening under where the door trim is laying.

Windscreen now in with locking trim. A job I never ever want to repeat.

Looks like a job well done, so onwards and upwards.

My 1968 +2 had the full ST.ST. Insert. My problem at that time was getting the correct rubber seal.
Getting one took several months, but during the waiting time, I was able to research all the techniques to fit the windscreen; most on this forum; including compressing the rubber, as it is known to shrink and having the joint at the bottom middle of the screen. So although refitting was not easy, particularly single handed, but it did go well.

Agreed, I should have researched more than I did, but it’s in.
