I have the funds to buy a new windshield (finally). How should I do this?
Rubber seal all around the windshield (seen it done on some cars)? Stock glue-in type of seal with trim (rust habitat, I dislike). Glue and fill in the gap flush? It's my understanding you can use a windsheild seal from a different car altogether? I'd like to have the rubber seal all around, but what do I tell the glass shop since I'm not going to install this myself... Also, that small windshield seal in the cab near the dashboard... is that REALLY needed? ($140) Can't I just camoflauge it somehow? TIA |

brando,
i ditched the chrome trim on my car for rubber moulding about a year ago and have never looked back. it is great. if i can find it (moved a few months back) i still have some moulding that i could be convinced to part with. i got the moulding from these guys.gold glass group i used the 1" wide. here is a link regarding a switch from chrome to rubber trim. rubber moulding others have used trim that has a chrome strip in the moulding so it looks more original. i however like the black on my white car. hope this helps. scott |
