HELP! I need Correct Custom Windshield Weatherstip
Hey guys -
Trust me, I searched the forums, but couldn't find a source and part number for the CORRECT windshield rubber for a '70 GMC with custom trim. The windshield has the wide stainless moldings that insert into the rubber gasket. We ordered one from LMC Trucks specifically for the 1970 GMC Custom. The part number was 38-5912, and clearly listed in the catalog for this truck. The windshield installer looked at it today and said it wouldn't work (after he had removed the old windshield). It had the slot for the trim, but it was 1/8" too shallow, and didn't have the "L" channel near the bottom. I talked to a lady at LMC Trucks who had absolutely NO CLUE about what I was talking about. She said it is either the 38-5912 or 38-5910. The 38-5910 has a slot that is only 3/8" deep. She suggested that I just replace it with the Standard windshield weatherstripping. Nice... I have attached a couple of photos showing measurements for the stainless trim as well as a photo of my old windshield rubber. If a Vendor, or someone who has solved this problem in the past could point me in the right direction, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks! NoNeck

Re: HELP! I need Correct Custom Windshield Weatherstip
Look for precision seal #WCR685, all of the local area glass guys prefer & ask for this brand. Below are the other precision 67-72 pu part numbers for front and rear glass with or without trim. Mel

I would check with GMC Pauls. Got the one for my 72 and it worked great. I'm sure he must have one for the 70.

Re: HELP! I need Correct Custom Windshield Weatherstip
69/70 is the one you need. 71/72 went to a trim that has a shorter leg on the back.
PRECISION brand ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: HELP! I need Correct Custom Windshield Weatherstip
Definitely use Precision brand. I just installed mine yesterday and so far so good. I used the standard rubber. I removed the deluxe rubber and trim and still have it, which are in excellent shape. I just wanted the standard trim for my look. I'll probably post the deluxe rubber and trim on the classifieds. Someone might be interested.

Re: HELP! I need Correct Custom Windshield Weatherstip
Thanks for everyone's help. We ordered the weatherstrip from Precision today. It was almost double the price of the one we got from LMC. Maybe it will be worth the price. I'll let you know how it goes.
