This is something quite annoying because fitting the windscreen on my 356B Outlaw T6 was one of the last jobs I had to undertake prior to the car being virtually complete following full restoration and modification. And it is doubly annoying because it is one of the very few jobs I farmed out to specialists. After doing all the welding, wiring, prep and painting I decided that I didn't want to risk breaking my new Pilkington blue tint screen by having it slip through my greasy mits. So I bought a new windscreen seal and contacted a specialist windscreen fitting company to pop the glass in.
Everything went well, screen in and they put the back glass in as well, then a couple of weeks later I noticed the screen seal had split on the inside on the nearside A pillar. The section which would sit inside was just hanging there as if it had been cut with a razor. The car had not moved out of my garage, it is immobile at the moment whilst I am waiting for some chroming to be done so I am at a complete loss as to what has happened here.
So I was wondering if any other folks have suffered a similar occurrence. I have ordered a new seal and the windscreen people are coming by next week to re-do the job. I have asked for the old screen seal to be left as intact as possible in order to give it a thorough inspection, possibly, hopefully, something will come to light.
