I am having trouble sourcing a windshiel and the seal for my 62 country sedan. I thought that the window and seal would be the same as the galaxie sedan or the four doors but apparently this is not the case. Are they the same? Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier? It is starting to get wet in Washington state so I need to get this seal replaced.
Don't use silicone on car windows. Mulco makes a thermoplastic called Flexstra or Flex 9000. Stronger tensile strength than adhesive strength which means it removes clean when needed. Like - when you make a mess! The clear stays crystal clear not cloudy like silicone. It also has something like a 22 yr UV rating. BUT - not compatible with silicone so don't put it anywhere where there may be residue from silicone. It's also not good for filling holes like silicone. Only good for running beads along seams. Once you're used to using it you can pull a bead that looks like it was done by a robot.
These windshields all interchange, and, therefore use the same gaskets- '62 Ford wagon and Galaxie, except convertible '63 Ford except Convertible, T-bird, and 2-door fastback HT. '64 Ford 2 and 4 door sedan and wagon Mercury '62-'63 wagon and Monterey except convertible Mercury '64 except convertible and fastback HT ---John
