| Does anyone have a good source for the rubber windshield welting ( seal) for the bottom of a glass 69 Mustang windshield? |

John,
Using the search feature, the key words "windshield gasket" and setting it to "older than 6 months"' 11 results turned up!!!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Sorry, I searched with welting and seal. Didn't know it was called a gasket |

Kind of hard to see on this picture but I ran the gasket all the way to the back of the windshield mount and put the screw thru it to hold it in place.As you put on the gasket you can inadvertently stretch it and if the end is not fastened down will shrink back leaving a gap.  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary,
Great idea with screwing down the ends. Yes, that damn vinyl always shrinks. Even the new vinyl weatherstripping on my new overhead door on my shop shrunk!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I would cut it too long, to the point of having ripples in it when first installed, when the sun and time shrink it up, it will fit! ------------- Gary http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=941" rel="nofollow - 1965 Barracuda SS |
