Received the new gasket from Metro on Friday, and it sure feels different than the other one I have. Hopefully we'll know come Monday morning.

Probably meant a 1/4 inch shorter, seems that would make it easier to install though.

Good luck, make sure to give the final resolution please.


Careful, your character's showing!

There is a difference in heights in 69 B body 4 door and 2 door cars. The 4 door being taller.


A 4 door windshield wouldn't even come close to the gasket in a 2 door frame... it's more than a small difference.

25% thinner???? Maybe that's why they don't take much pressure till they break. Now on to the third windshield since one and two have broken. Some days it just doesn't pay to get up. shruggy
