Need a new windshield, but i'm being told I have to get a gasket and the vendors the company uses don't carry them. i tried rockauto.com and a few other sites, but no luck. where can i find a gasket, or do i need to find a different place to get a windshield.

Also, is this something I should tackle myself, or go ahead and pay to have a professional do it? Been trying to do all the wrench time myself, but things out of my league like paint i have no problem letting someone else handle it

 

Go somewhere else...I had no issues when I replaced mine years ago.

 

Found this one, http://www.cobranda.com/wiwe.html and called Tony Branda, according to that guy 69 and 70 are a glue in, they don't have a gasket. Sounds like the place just isn't familiar with the model.

 

Yea they dont use a gasket. It uses a tape kit (really sticky windshield tape/gasket material) or if you have it replaced by a company and installed they will use 3-M window weld caulk/glue. Its good stuff. Thats what was used on mine and it doesnt leak at all. You can order the tape kit from most of the Mustang vendors, just look it up. But I would use the window weld.

Window sealer it "tape kit" and all the others..

I also use the window tape for sealing up the trim holes around my rear window. A little ball of it stuffed on top of the screw hole and then place the trim and screw through the sealer into the metal so that no water can seep around the screw into the cab and start rusting away.

I would pay the glass guys to install it. They know how to put the trim on easily and are used to glue in glass because all of the newer cars use it.

 

The 69-73 windshield uses butyl tape. Common item, if you can't find it in your area Glazier Nolan stocks it.

 

yes its a glue in window, when my window installer did mine he used some tape thing, then some glue compound, then put it in, wahlah

 

I used the window Dr. and they missed it up so bad I will redue it myself, still lecks after two attempts and the chrome is dent to hell, I have ordered new trim and gasket,j ust pissed me off

 

they probably didnt seal the window or if they did they used urethane(which hardens) and not the correct bedding and glazing compound
