Windshield seal 72 c10

[chuck72c10]

Hi,

I am in the process of restoring a 1972 C10 pickup. The windshield is cracked so I decided to have it replaced. The windshield shop let me know that they didn't have the gasket for the C10 custom so ordered one from LMC truck. I also ordered a new stainless trim piece. I took the truck to the shop today. About an hour later they called to say that the new trim piece was dented. Damn! So I said to reuse the original part. Then they called an hour later to say that the replacement gasket (made in Tawain) didn't fit properly. So they reused the orginal gasket and it doesn't fit well either, lots of wind noise. The windshield shop person told me that the repro parts don't always fit. I am going to return both parts, but I still would like to get the windshield install properly. Is this an unusual problem?

Are OEM gaskets still available? Where can I buy one? Thanks.

Chuck
