Hey guys do you know where I can find windshield gaskets for my front and rear windshield. 1967 Dodge Dart hardtop.
Steele rubber is the best
Do you know where I can get the clips to hold he trim?Steele rubber is the best
o where do I get the rubber and clips? I looked on the precision website and don’t see it?Sorry to disagree. 67 is one year only and requires the mylar lockstrip. The gaskets are unique(1 year only) as well.
Although Steele gaskets may be "good' quality, they and their tacky trim are nowhere near the quality or looks of OEM, which Precision is.
Unless Steele has made recent changes?? Didnt they have financial issues as well?
***EDIT*** Maybe their gaskets and trim for other years are good, but I just checked their site and 67 cuda and dart gaskets are different. One giveaway that their trim is wrong is they show it coiled up. You cant do that with mylar lockstrip.

67's were one year only gaskets both front and rear. sad to say they are nearly impossible to find. they consist of a chrome plastic locking strip and polished stainless corner peices. you may be able to save some greif and use the 68 and later gasket which is a rope in style that uses chrome trim kept in place with clips. means you have to weld in clip mounts before gasket goes in, but they are way easier to find both used and aftermarket and replace if ever damaged or broken.
sorry man, 67 was a suck year for pitman arms and glass trim.
@4spdragtop, thanks man you found the post for me. I am saying that IF he cannot find the parts he needs.... he can go this route.....
This has been beaten more than Rodney King.
Rolling the Mylar strip has to be for shipping reasons. There is no reason this should not work if they are heated a little and straightened before application. I can not commit to this suggestion because I have not dealt with the situation.
...and he was one whooped ***, too.
Duly noted. The whole design stinks in nature.Precision Mylar cant be rolled. The Steele product can, for shipping to the Shriners.
I watched a documentary on the LA riots a couple weeks back. What a clusterf**k that was!
Sad Rodney died/drowned in his swimming pool on the exact same day that his Dad committed suicide years earlier.
I just checked the Steele website and they no longer show a windshield gasket for the 67 A-Body applications. They show a rear gasket with the generic chrome insert.
Personally, I believe that it depends on how correct do you want the car and what do you have to work with. Secondly, we have been selling the Precision and Steele gaskets for over 28 years and I would not hesitate for one second on recommending the Precision gaskets. Steele makes a good piece and for the most part makes some gaskets that nobody else does. But Precision is an OEM vendor that I have to say has outstanding quality control of their gaskets.
The Precision gaskets for the 67 A-Body applications was a God send for those who were wanting the correct piece. I am actually shocked that with such a small market, that it was done. I have not spoke to James on how they stand on availability of the mylar inserts, but I would say that once the inventory is depleted, then there will not be a second run of this product. Just how many of them can you sell. I know that we have only sold probably less than 20 of them since they were made available.
As @4spdragtop discussed, if it is a budget concern, then I still consider it a moot point. As in the end, you will still be pretty close. The correct 67 pieces will be a bit more and some owners will tell you that they prefer one over the other in regards to appearance.
