RE: {Chrysler 300} '55-'56 300 windshield gasket ordering and installation

My gasket was dry and cracked to the point that it had separated in spots. Glass had a nasty scratch. So it had to come out. Looks nice now with new glass and fresh gasket.

I agree with several people that have replied already. I have done three cars with Steel one piece molded products and had satisfactory results.

 

Years ago I had the rear upper stainless blow off my car. It has always been loose and will adhere it somehow after I get my C300 back from paint.  For all the reasons being discussed here, I left the front and rear gasket and glass in my C300 during blasting, body and paint. If it works, don’t fix it.

Hello all,

 

 I'm planning on ordering the top (ribbed to hold the trim) and the bottom windshield gaskets from Quirey soon for my C300. They come in 14 foot lengths for $110 each.

 

 Do I use the upper ribbed piece for only the top and the bottom piece for the bottom and sides? Or do I use the top piece for the top and sides and the bottom piece for only the bottom? 

 

 I was wondering if anyone had useable top or bottom gaskets for sale or would be willing to buy the useable extra length that I don't need. 

 

 I'm going to have professionals install the windshield. Is there any installation tips I should know about? The 1955 MoPar body service manual has a windshield removal and installation section. Is this worth buying?

 

 See attached picture for the rubber mess that is on the car now. The car also had the visor-type upper trim on it instead of the correct trim piece. 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim
