I found an NOS seal, hopefully is works as well...

Does anyone have any experience using soff seal window seals? Are they good, bad or okay?

We currently have a cab rubber kit special on sale on our site made up of our lifetime warranty Precision weatherstriping for anyone else looking to avoid this sort of problem that includes all the cab weatherstriping from Precision and we include the option for those wishing to do away with glue-on door seals that you can upgrade to a Push-On version that requires no glue.

I like soff-seal, haven't used them on my truck but they are (were) pretty high quality.

Well,
The third glass guy just gave up.
I contacted GMC Paul for a Precision seal. Hopefully it will work.
This is really chaping my ass now! Including flat bedding the truck all over, I have now spent over $400 and still no windshield. I could understand it if the truck was rolled and the pillars were bent but that's not the case.

I will call my guy tomorrow, he might drive up to where you are at, I will ask and let you know.

I finally got the windshield in yesterday.
The moral of the story is; Use a Precision seal and you wont have to spend five weeks and $500.

Congrats on finally getting the glass in..

End the end I finally got it in with a Precision. Tried three others and no go.

Wow I don’t think it should be that hard... I had never installed a windshield before and did mine in about 30 minutes. I put the seal on the window and then set the window in the frame and worked from the bottom up. Was tight in the corners but i just worked it!
