Windscreen Gasket
Discussion
Had a screen fitted about 2 months ago.
Recently had my roof recovered and new seals.
Now started to see the screen gasket folding under as the roof bars are closed.
Looked at the seal and it is merely pushed on.
Spoke to the fitter and he says that this is normal and will bond it onto the screen if i want but it will ruin the gasket should i need the glass replacing in the future.
The gasket has been reused for this screen.
Had no problems before screen was fitted but as it's a new roof and seals it will be tight.
Tonight put lid on and noticed screen move when using the bars took it of again pushed gasket in as hard as i could refitted roof and pushed bars up and screen didn't move and gasket was level.
Gasket must be moving as i fit/take off roof.
Not sure what to do.

Not sure whats right and wrong, but in my case the rubber seal around the winscreen( I assume this is what you mean) is stuck in with something like sikaflex. This has been used not just to hold it in place but to bond it to the glass. Its come loose a bit on the sides and I've just had to stick it back down.
