MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Spridget windscreen to body seal.


J M Hutton, Humberside, United Kingdom
Ok you guys, heeeeelp! I have spent hours over days trying to fit the replacement seal to the aluminium extrusion (base of windscreen surround). I have one from Moss, and one from MGOC., which are quite different in section - and neither is a good fit. The problem is that the 'T' section of the rubber is of smaller dimensions than the extrusion, and therefore once slid along so far, starts to come out.
I'm assuming that as is the case with a lot of replacement parts - they are not to the original specification. However, I can usually find a way forward - but not at the moment!
ANY advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, John.

Hi J M.

A quick link to get you started until someone else comes along with more advice.

Thanks for that Malcolm. Dave Pratt pointed me in the right direction, and am pleased to report seal now fitted - hooray! Just another Heritage Shell problem overcome! But it's good fun! 😂
