Reply to "Replacement Windshield & Gasket"

larrywMember

If your car has blacked out trim, as mine does, I would recommend Wilkinson's oversized "glue in" glass.

I extracted my old glass (one with the internal antenna, the infamous undersized leaker by Viracon) and gasket and prepped everything. A friend that runs a mobile glass service helped me install the new glass and charged me all of $45. One thing he had that did not come in Wilkinsons kit was a special urethane based primer he applied to the windshield bed, otherwise everything you'll need is included.

Flush mount, modern look and guaranteed no leaks first try.

Some body and paint previously covered by your old gasket will now show (about 3/8"all the way around) so before you commit to one be sure you are satisfied with the condition of this area right up to the edge of the windshield bed.

If your original windshield trim is still in good shape, you could probably sell it and recoup a decent portion of your outlay. Like several hundred dollars.
