Windshield problem with photos
A follow up with photos from a posting yesterday . has the seal shrank?
I've just gotten a 1973 911 T targa. Overall the car is in good shape but The seals on the windshield at the top and bottom are pulling away a little - causing about a 2 inch long gap between the seal and the frame. it is a very small opening. Also the windshield is very slightly loose. I think the seals are old but they have no signifcant crakcing. It is not the orginal windsheild. So I am wondering if it is the seals or an aftermarket windshield that does not fit just right ? can the seals shrink over time ? But would they shrink in just a couple places? thanks Crosby

Chances are it's the size of the windshield, slightly smaller than original, makes them a little easier to install but more likely to leak.

That seal is in need of being replaced! depending on how old the glass is , that may have to be replaced too, as they get brittle with time/ sun exposure and crack easily when handled

Had my windshield replaced and they supplied the seal for about 220.00. it may be worth it. while it's out, you should have a look at the windshield surround for rust.
