'49 Chevy 4400 windshield 'gasket' - 03/19/09 09:56 PM
The windshield 'gasket' (what do you call that thing?). Windshield rubber?
The original windshield rubber (gasket) was weather checked (cracked) and leaking. I replaced it today. Man, that is a bear of a job as a one-man project. The manual (http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1948_51truck/51ctsm0105.htm ) indicates that the last step is to seal the glass to the weather strip with weather strip sealant. But do you really have to do that with the modern windshield rubber? It fits the glass really tightly except for the center strip that divides the two panes of the windshield.
