I'm looking to do a little work on my 46's windshield. I've got a local glass man to cut and install the glass for me. The question I have is: what is my best bet for a frame-to-cab seal? I'm doing a basic 'driver' restoration at the moment, but want something that will keep out the rain and's not just throwing away my money. Recommendations from those with experience? Manufacturers and/or part numbers to look at would be greatly appreciated.
Lynn Steele, eh? With a site called "oldcarglassguy" I am betting you know what you're talking about! I assume their quality is good. How are Steele's prices?
I used them nearly 40 years without a problem. if that means anything. if you want to save money buy the cheap ones and spend 10 hours trying to make them work. then shit can them and buy good stuff. I'm going to say this . there are several good companies that make great parts that I use all the time. one by one they are moving to off shore and almost over night turn to crap. we are at the mercy of suppliers and when I run into a bad one I put them on a list of parts I don't reccomend. when I find good parts I have a list for them too. Steele has alway been on the A list
I thought I would follow up for anyone who comes across this conversation in the future. I did end up getting the perimeter seal and division bar seal from Steele. Though I had to modify the division bar seal a bit, I was very please with the quality of their materials and the fit was perfect. It was a much faster and easier process to install than I expected. Steele is the way to go.
