Coupe windshield header sealing

[Bob/Ohio]

I am installing a new header in my 30 coupe and I need to know what all gets sealer or gaskets in this area. Looks like there might have been some kind of sealer between the header and the metal frame it sets in. I didn't take this car apart, so I don't know what all was sealed. I have a new windshield frame seal, and the seal that goes under the visor. I was told something needs to go between the header and the upper trim piece above the windshield, not sure how this goes. Am I missing anything else for his area?


Thanks
Bob

I don't know if this will help it's kind of hard to see.

Thanks for the link and the drawing. I guess I have all I need except a piece of welting for the top of the windshield face panel.

An original coupe I saw at an auction sale once used welting that was fabric on the outside. It may have been rubberized fabric. I don't know what the core was made from. This would be in place of the "rubber hinge gasket" in BobC's sketch.
