Bella ,
My two 400's , Car 427 & 504 , produced in 1949 and 1950 respectively have the later screen rubber as Stefan advised .
The chrome frame sits on packing pieces of about 5/16 inch thick that are between body and screen frame . The rubber I use then presses on the body skin and as yet does not leak , even without any sealing compound. The only leak I have encountered in over 35 years was between the glass and chrome windscreen frame.
But it does not rain much in Australia
