Windshield thickness

[chrismoore701]

I just picked up a new windshield for my 79 c10. Do you guys know what the thickness is? I have another windshield same size but thicker. Not sure what year it is

Thoughts Does the thickness even matter?

[chrismoore701]

Any thoughts?

Are both oem or is one a aftermarket piece?

[chrismoore701]

I don't know about the one I had. Says PPG on it. The one I bought I know is after market

[chrismoore701]

The old windshield I have is 0.2514" thick the new windshield is 0.1920". A difference of 0.0594". Does not seem like a lot. But is that enough to cause issues? I bought my weather striping from classic auto parts. That and the windshield are listed for 73-87. So it's not like I could get a different set up. Should I be concerned or am I over looking this?



Thanks
Chris

I would try installing it see if everything fits with out any leaks,Some will use a little m3 auto bedding and glazing around the body side to make sure the gasket/weather striping seals fully.

I have already installed the trim on the truck. Should I remove it to add sealant? What about around the glass? Should I put any sealant there?

Unless you start to see any water leaks i would leave it be.

What about between the gasket and the glass?

If you have new gaskets, it shouldn't be a problem, install it the way the factory did and sleep well at night.

I talked to precision and they told me what types of adhesive to use and all is good. Installed last week and went well
