I'm in the process of replacing my original windshield glass and surrounding rubber and the I & I reproduction rubber is identical except it is not fabric lined as original and seems to bite into windshield metal rather than slide easily. Anyone have any suggestions on a remedy? Talcum powder? Thank, Howard Dennis

Get the windshield rubber from the Filling Station in Lebanon, Oregon. It is felt lined as it should be. A lot of I&I's reproduction parts are kinda sorta questionable. :( :( :(

i just got my windshield rubbers from the filling station and they fit really well that is the 2 sides and the seal for the bottom i am waiting for the rubber that goes onto the windshield frame itself anybody know if you have to bend the groove to get the new one in or will it just slide

do not recall a seal on the frame itself there is a sealthat attaches to the header facing glass i could not figure what held this strip on did not see any holes or away to fasen so i glued it on still holding my ta could not give me a answer that is very unusal may be some one else has a answer

where did you glue it ? to the material

no to the front header steel it seals between the front header and the glass there is a 3/4 lip about } i could see no other way to fasten it and there is not much room it has to seal the glass or water and wind can go over the top of the wind shield into the car mine did not have any holes or any other means to fasen it chip did not have a answer either ? hope this helps oldpush

Thanks for all the help guys. Since this is a hobby I'm limited on funds and didn't really want to buy a second set of windshield rubbers. I found a thin fabric tape made by Steele Rubber and was able to line my I&I rubber just like original and it works like a charm. Saved almost $30.00 to boot even after shipping and postage!

I got mine from I&I and it came with a felt like piece to add and worked great and looks great.
