Tom,
The 67 gasket plastic is one year only but is not necessary to use. The front windshield for your 67 Valiant is the same as my 67 Dart and the same for all these A-bodies through 1976.
The remedy is forget the original plastic trim and use the 1968-76 front windshield gasket. To finish it off, use the metal chrome windshield trim that you see on 1968- A-bodies. You can get new mounting clips for the 1968- trim. Look at a '68 or later Dart or Valiant and drill (very easy) the screws to hold the trim mounting clips in around the windshield just like the 68 and later A-bodies; install the rubber gasket w/windshield (your shop guy has this pleasure) then the metal trim around the windshield to finish it off.


I am attaching a picture of my '67 Dart so you can see the result.
Take care,
Gary Pavlovich

A friend of mine is restoring a 67 valiant 2 door sedan for his son to drive. It is in need of a new windshield. He found a local place that has the windshield and the rubber gasket for mounting it, but theydo not have the plastic pieces that snaps into the rubber gasket all the way around the windshield and claim they can't get it. The plastic pieces are supposed to have a chrome finish and to me look just like trim. The windshield person says he can't put the windshield in with out it cause it spreads the gasket out and holds everything in place. there is some left in the old gasket, but it is brittle and will probably never go back in. Any ideas where we can locate this stuff so he can get the windshield in and get the car on the road?


Thanks,

Tom Harbison
