Windshield Weatherstrip
Hi Guys,
I need your help. I'm about to instaal my front windshield and took the weatherstrip I bought from LMC out of the box. And then there was a problem; I have no clue on what channel to use. I've bought the standard weatherstrip without the chrome trim but it has 3 channels on it. One is (I think) on the side you install on your truck (nr. 3 on the drawing) and two are on the glass side of the weatherstrip (no 1 and 2) In which channel do I put the windshield? I've made some pictures of mine and a quick drawing of how the weatherstrip looks like I anyone has pictures of theirs installed (whitout the trim) please post them. p.s. I know I should hire a professional to install the windshield, but there are few in The Netherlands who know anything about these trucks and they are very expensive to hire. |

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
It looks to me they sent you the one for the locking strip imho. That gasket is correct for the black and Chrome lock strip.
Standard should be PN#38-5911 Last edited by HOGDADDY; 04-20-2010 at 05:04 PM. |

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
That's what I'm afraid of too (although the plastic bag it came in says it's a standard weatherstrip). But why is there the somewhat T-shape at one end?

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
I think there are only 2 choices... I just put a windshield in mine and the inner grove goes on the metal of the cab(put sealer in there) and install the rubber. Then once the gasket is in place install the glass. Then install the chrome or black lock strip. I dont think you can get new rubber that comes without a lock strip?

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
Here's one with the trim/locking strip, as you can see in the pic it has a completely seperate groove to slip into
![]() ![]() Have you tried putting the rubber onto the glass? it should only fit one way And installing your own glass is no big deal, just have a buddy put slight pressure on the glass while you pull the rope and you will be fine ![]()

Besides I had the new gasket already installed on truck and he had windshield installed in no time ( like 10 min or so) without any help from me. Last edited by HOGDADDY; 04-21-2010 at 12:38 AM. |

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
Hi Guys,
A quick update; both windows are in. It was quite an easy job. I think the hard has yet to come. I still have to install the lockstrip but that's on order now. Strange, lmc sells a complete weatherstrip set but it does not include the locking strip. I'll post a picture later on. |

Re: Windshield Weatherstrip
Sounds like you accomplished the hardest part then. Most glass shops have rolls of that lock strip so maybee thats why you can get it without.
