Default Windshield frame

Does anyone sell a complete windshield frame for a 62 with possibly the windshield already installed in it?
Thanks,
Wade

Yes, There is an outfit that does it all, I saw them in Kissimmee Fla last jan. Sorry, I don't know how to contact them.

BTW Maybe you can help me. I just installed a new windshield on my 59 and I was told not to put any adhesive on the glass between the weatherstripping and the surround or between the weatherstripping the glass. So I did't and now my surround and weatherstripping is seperating from my windshield where the soft top pulls. I have about 1/8 " opening at the top
I am going to have a post on the forum and ask for help there also.
Thanks George

Adhesive won't prevent that problem - usually caused by broken tabs on the posts, which allows the top to pull the frame rearward, off the upper edge of the glass.

Sorry George, I wish I could help, but it would be like the blind leading the blind.
