31 Slant Windshield Cabriolet, Mounting Windshield

[Ed in Maine]

I am installing the windshield in my 68C. Is there a seal that goes between the windshield hinge and the cowl/frame? If so, what is the part number? Also, how is the vacuum line installed with respect to the windshield hinge? Thanks for your help, Ed

when I did my Slant T/S, I bought a seal from Berts or Snyders forgot who. The metal vacuum line is held against the wood header by 3 small clips as it travels across from passenger side to driver's side.

the hinge seal is A79550 you have to punch your own holes. the Vacuum line goes under the hinge behind the header molding held in place with three clips. the repro, clips do NOT fit worth a S--t and finding good originals is tough.

Isn't the w/s seal for the slant windshield A-79500?....slightly different than the hinge seal for the non-slant.
