63 gmc windshield gasket
I had a windshield installed and the top corners are not sealing right. I bought the gasket from brothers, I dont remember who made it. Is anyone else having this issue?

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
If it becomes an issue that is untenable and need to replace it, I would recommend going with a Precision Replacement seal. Mine fit perfectly and installed with ease.

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
I was going to recommend the same brand. I got steel rubber products and they are way to stiff

 In your photo it looks like the gasket is painted the same color as the truck below the trim. My gasket seems like it is bulkier than yours either that or your window trim is wider. |

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
Is that the same glass you took out to begin with?

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
From the pictures either the glass might be small, or the glass is not fully seated into the pinchweld. When the seal is fully seated the outer fin will sit out on the body. If your seal is not sitting flush against the cab on the inside in the same spots where the issues are on the outside of the cab the seal is not installed correctly.

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
I could try to get the info for the guy that installed mine. But he is in north Hollywood so I am not sure if he will go all the way down to Orange County

Re: 63 gmc windshield gasket
Man if I lived around Batavia and Collins area I'd be fat for getting stuff done on my Truck. I drove through there when I visited the Truck Shop and was impressed with the custom car shops in that area. You guys have everything.
