Re: 1927 Touring-replace front windshield rubber
On my 1924, the gasket between the cowl and the base of the lower windshield frame kept slipping out of place during installation, so I taped it down in a few strategic places with blue masking tape first. Once the windshield frame was in place, I was able to pull the masking tape out, leaving the gasket.
On the side seals for the upper windshield frame, I used a few dabs of black silicone sealant to help retain the seals in their slots. I let the silicone harden completely before putting any pressure on the seals.

Re: 1927 Touring-replace front windshield rubber
When I restored my 26 Touring I also used black silicone to hold the gaskets in place. Don't worry, the windshield will continue to leak like yoy would expect!
