I haven't installed a windshield in a 914 since my first one in 1987 and we didn't use the factory rubber spacers.

Well, it's time to put a windshield in 914RS and I ordered those two little rubber spacers from PP, but I don't know where they go.

Any pictures or good descriptions?

As long as they don't interfer with the trim, no harm leaving them in place. I always leave them in if I can.

I've never removed them after an install. I use two and put them about 16" or so from the lower corners. You want to make sure they center the glass in the frame. If it sits too high, shave them with a razor.

I paint the recessed area of the frame flat black, and I also coat the same area with urethane "primer", which makes for a better bond. It's not 100% neccesary, especially if the car really won't see rain.
