Windshield and rear window seal

The sealant you will find that I posted is the best stuff in world. I used it on my cuda and it works great!
I don't know what they are talking about a "filler strip" but your gasket should have a self locking strip. You unzip it BEFORE you remove the glass. If the car is going to be nice now is the time for new gasket as well as windshield... like previously posted. Windshields get "sand blasted" after years of service and looking though the glass gets "foggy". You really won't notice the difference until you look through a new windshield in comparison.

Thanks, I will look up that stuff. As per the filler strip, in a 70 Dart service manual, the gasket channel that the windshield slides into has a filler strip in the bottom. May be irrelevant with new gaskets.

So it seems that its based on the manufacturer of the gasket if it has a self locking strip or a separate locking strip. Like on one site there are different options (1 or 2) that fit 67 - 75 or something like that but only one has a locking strip.

I attached a pic with and without its crappy vinyl top and one of all the " toys". Definitely not putting a vinyl top back on....hate it
