windshield seal

Where can I get windshield seal that works with the chrome? I found one at DC, but it's $70. Any other ideas? I saw nothing at JCW nor at the FTE parts shop (I did look there first :-)

gtex,

Since you already checked Motor Haven, here's what I found at another parts supplier I use. Both are $50 or less each.

Big thanks! That's $20 I can save. I'm debating now, to do the windshield when I get it painted.

Glad to help. I don't know how the quality is on those parts, but other parts I have gotten from them are great. The owner, Larry, is very helpful. If you have questions or want more details, just email him through the link on that site.

GTEX, a word of advice. Put the chrome in BEFORE you reinstall the gasket. I took my chrome out for a paint job and according to everyone I'll never get it back in. I have tried every lubricant without succes. I even tried KY but had a difficult time convincing the clerk that it was for my truck.

If you can, pull the windshield before it gets painted so you can check for rust. If you can leave it out while its getting painted, that would be even better.
