IML: S.O.S. "60 Imperial windshield disaster, need glass and gasket



Hi Folks,
 
Disaster struck today as my father and I were installing the windshield in my '60 Crown.  I had a perfect, yes flawless, correct '60 windshield and gasket for this car.  The windshield cracked while we were on the last 8" of pulling the seal around.  This is a frame up restoration of a 34,000 mile car and I am distraught wandering where I am going to find a replacement as nice as my original.  My perfect gasket was a bit cut up in the process as well.  We were being so careful, had everything taped off and followed the manual as well as anybody could.  Now we have a windshield on the curb and are just trying to get three tubes of windshield sealer off the car, I gave up trying to clean the gasket.  The '60 winshield has a bubble in the top unlike the later models which are reproduced.  I must find a perfect '60 windshield for this car.  If anyone has any leads your help would be greatly appreciated.  Guess we'll call in professionals next time.........
