Re: [FWDLK] '56 windshield

Rumor has it that Goer's now has a good gasket for 55,56 windshields.  Timo 
Tanskanen installed his windshield in my B(I had previously installed one of 
the "good deal" windshields that never was that  great and  than eventually 
delaminated).  He created a custom gasket during installation that looks and 
performs perfectly.
