The sealer doesn't set it just goes dry over 50yrs ! It's designed to stay pliable cause the screen and rubber actually move while your driving, next time you drive your escort reach out and rest your hand on the screen, seal, pillar and you'll understand why the sealer stays 'wet' . As said earlier, never silicone the seal in that's designed for gutters ! Anywho, your screen guy will fix it for you

Had the windscreen looked at today, Seems there was no sealer between the rubber and the glass. So they put some in for me. He said some people choose not to put a sealant in there but mostly on cars that never see rain. Ill need the car this week as the Landcruiser is off to set a nice buff and polish and its meant to get wet and wild weather wise.

Nothing else really to add for the escort - renewed historic rego and have just been driving it a bit.

Heres an old photo

Nice how someone wrote the models of what they are on each page too.
My neighbour died and his house was cleared out as a deceased estate.
It turns out that his father used to work at Fords (like everyone in Geelong at some point).
 
Buried amongst the junk tossed in the skip was some Ford marketing material.
I have a large Escort Van poster in the garage now.

The escort has to pay second to a bigger brother now.

Kinda came up at the right time, but needs alot of love.

See how she goes, fits the family in alot easier then the escort.
Not sure if i updated but have a second boy now!

talk about a while between posts, when you expand the family in between.
Congrats.
 
You should know more than many, that its safer for the kids to travel inside the cruiser,not strapped to the bb.
