Re: New Repro Windscreen with Steele Gasket

As far as I know Steele is the only option but you might ask Kanter just in case. I believe Fred mentioned at one time that they have some pieces made by someone other than Steele but don't believe the WS weatherstrip was one of them.

I remember Cli55er had some problems with his back glass along the same lines but don't recall if he did anything to compensate. He might see this and answer but if not, perhaps a PM to him would get some info on what he might have done..

On your windshield, does it fit at the sides but have the gap at the top? If so someone possibly holding the glass in position so it is raised to the top of the opening while someone adds in the extra supports Packard mentions in TB55-10 along the bottom might help. I suspect Steele's gasket possibly being made of softer rubber may be exhibiting some of the same issues as the early 55 gaskets.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/STB/55T-10.pdf

If the overall dimensions are short because of the glass being 1/8" smaller or the extra supports have already been tried then I would think about the only thing possible would be to add in some kind of extension piece on the pinch weld to take up part of the gap.
