Windshield weatherstripping Rubber

[29UJohn]

Does anyone have a source they would recommend for new windshield weatherstrip rubber?  I bought some years ago and the bottom seal worked great but the side pieces did not have any felt in them so the windshield stuck to them and would not slide up and down.  Mr Sapp wrote and article in the Bulletin a while back that seemed to indicate he had a similar problem but implied he was able to find another supplier that was satisfactory.

John,

I did this a couple of years ago and bought the windshield gasket from Steele Rubber.  As far as the window slides I may have used the same felt tracks as the door windows.  I really don't remember and can't get to the car at the moment to check.  I do remember that I had everything I needed to complete the job.

I wish I could be more helpful.

In '98 Steele Rubber had a good part for the windshield sides.  They sell a set of sides and bottom P/N 70-0016-52, which I think is what I bought, but sides only.  Unfortunately, can't locate the invoice.

Frank,

You're correct.  This is why I don't remember needing any parts.  Actually pretty easy install.

John, here is a link to the windshield set:
