the difference is 1/16 in. between 18 3/8 and 18 7/16....so it is not a Caribbean windshield. I will try to put clips in the lower part of the gasket to spread and strengthen it....Thanks for helping so far...

I am trying to replace the cracked windshield in my 55 Pat. I have purchased 2 replacements which both seem short when installed with a new Steele rubber gasket. The replacement glass is almost identical in height to the broken one Im replacing which leads me to wonder if the gasket is wrongly sized. Has anyone had a similar experience and what was the solution. I have spoken to the rep at Steele and they denied that there were multiple gaskets or different sizes.
