windshield rubber question??? HELP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am about to install new windshield glass and back glass in a frameoff truck. I plan to install the deluxe package in my 69 truck.
The glass guy tells me to make sure the rubber has a GM approved stamp on it. He says most of that rubber is made in Brazil.
Does anyone know who sells this correct rubber?

No I don't, but I've installed two windshields with repro gaskets from Manes Truck Parts and haven't had any problems....

Just make sure that the glass shop orders the correct seal. The seal for the custom truck is 67-70 and there is a different seal for the custom 71-72. The differenece is that the channel for the 71-72 is more shallow than the one for the 67-70 truck. I know that all to well. The glass shop was sure that they had the right seal, until they got there to install it. I had to order it myself to make sure I got the right one.

Good luck..
