Windshield removal and replacement 69 Dart

I recently removed the windshield to paint my 65 dart. It had a lock strip all the way around. My seal was bad enough that I just cut the seal to remove the windshield. I’m replacing the windshield since mine was delaminating. When I bought a new seal I did buy a chrome locking strip. Have you looked up the prices of the seals yet? After I cut the windshield seal out I looked up the replacement cost and was surprised at how expensive they are. I’m glad I did that before I removed the rear window since that seal is about $200.
