Can anyone suggest a good source for windshield gasket? It's for a '69 Thompson w/aluminum windshield.<br /><br />Alternatively, can shrunken gaskets be relaxed and reinstalled?

Pick up a JC Whitney auto catalog and look in the antique or restoration section. They have a lot of windowstripping listed. They have cross sectional pictures of many of them. You may find something that you can use in place of the original weatherstripping....<br /><br />Kev_Alask***

Have you tried to visit an automotive windshield shop? I bet they can lead you to a gasket.<br /><br />Bob :cool:
