Yea, Fred. You gave me the Idea to get a new windshield. My old one had some yellowing around the edges and a foggy spot in front of the passengers view. And it was clear . New one is tinted with the darker band on top. Fit good. can't complain !!

You need to seal it up or did it fit tight?
 
tight enough, I didn't put any sealer on it. I still have to find a lock strip for it.
 
Use to come with the w/s rubber years ago but now everything is separate and spend more money.
My gasket is a Precision and last I saw they want about $250 for the chrome plastic lockstrip. I look for something else or do without .

Precision is what I have but no locking strip required on mine.
You should be able to use a black rubber generic locking strip real cheap. Use to buy it in a big roll and I think there is only 4 types back then.
Made a special tool to insert it but not expensive.

I have a piece of black lockstrip from the rear gasket but it's to small. I need to measure it and look for some a little fatter
 
Problem with the lockstrip is the damned profile. If it was your typical round bead it wouldnt be as much an issue.
1/2 hour to install? I'd be a 1/2 day just cleaning up all the broken glass.
Makes me cringe looking at these pics lol

That's the hard part trying to get the right size.

Your right Steve the Precision seal takes a special lock strip. They make it like that so they can rape everyone that needs one.:icon_fU::lol:
 
I have some of the chrome lock strip, but it doesn't fit my seal. I need to find out what it does fit so I can get rid of it .
 
Still trying to get rid of extra parts but hate to throw them away.
Wattcha Got? I've been collecting stuff for my Spring '65 'cuda build.
I need a Windshield, LockStrip, Seat Tracks, Uca's, Lca's and a Front Bumper. Mostly Early Valiant/Barracuda Stuff...

I need one of those eventually! Mine is pretty fogged around the edges. Are they hard to do yourself? Is there just one seal or is there one on the inside and out? I've never removed one.

Just one. Easy with a new seal. Use a lot of soap and water.
 
Does the windshield set inside of the seal? How does the stainless trim go back on over the seal?
