The windshield is a one-piece type and is retained in the
windshield opening by a moulded rubber weatherstrip.
This weatherstrip is sealed in the windshield opening
and sealed to the windshield glass. See figure 7G.

newly installed windshield, especially when the strain on
the glass caused by this obstruction is increased by such
conditions as wind pressures, extremes of temperature,
motion of the vehicle, etc.

the complete windshield assembly and to other
stationary glass, such as in figure 10G.
