I talked to the guy that owns and restored this truck at Kansas Goodguys.
He says he always tried to use the original windshield gasket, that comes in the truck.
(no matter how hard they are)

He told me he always breaks the front windshield to salvage the rubber.
(Most rear glass he can get out without damaging the glass or rubber)

He said that he then put the original rubber gasket in a 5 gallon bucket of water,... with a mixture of dishwashing detergent and Tide laundry detergent.
He then puts a lid on the bucket and leaves it for 1-2 weeks.

He said when you take it out of the bucket,... it's like brand new.
Super soft and pliable.
I'd never heard of this techique.
(He told me he also restores alot of old corvettes).

Anyone else know about this?
