George re your windows

FM Former Member
George, I noticed on one your photos that shows the driver's window raised that there is a slight gap behind the front edge of the window glass and the windshield post. I can't tell by the photo how big the gap is, or if the window is fully raised.

If the window is fully raised what fills this gap? Is there a piece of rubber weather-striping/window channel that is attached to the windshield posts? Just curious.

You have done a first class job.

It's hard to see detail in that pic - I believe (?) that the windshield posts have channels with rubber insert seals that the glass presses against (rather than rides inside of). I think the fit is such that the outside of the glass is roughly flush with the post to reduce wind noise, etc.

Thanks Erik, I gave a LOT of thought to all of the detail stuff for the new car and can only hope it pays off in the enjoyment of the finished product.

George, I would love to see a closer view of that area when the car is nearing completion.

I assume Henry moved the windshield backward about 1 3/4" and the windshield posts are in the correct Speedster location, compared to the other replica's.

The 1 3/4" gap is why the retro fit roll-ups need a spacer to fill the opening.

Love the beehive lights and your rims.
