    Got the windshield back from paint! Boy oh boy did they did a great job. I got talked into Satin which might be a little less shiny than it rolled off the factory floor in 1966 but I think it will make a nice contrast with the glossy PR#2.

    So - do I need to put any adhesive or sealant around the hinge posts up inside the frame, or between the tops of the hinges where they bolt to the frame? If I recall there was some sort of glue there when I took it apart.

    Here's some pics:

    I can't imagine that any kind of glue was used, or would do any good since there are bolts holding everything. Maybe it was anti-seize or some kind of lubricant. Hey, what are you coating the jeep body bolts with? They look good.
