i need pics of standard and custom windshield rubber - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

my truck had the custom rubber with the trim around the windshield when i bought it and when i pulled the windsheild out there was some pitting under the rubber so i just sandblasted it and primed it. My plan was to use the standard rubber when i get a windshield installed but now i'm wandering if it will cover the rust pits or not. So if anyone has some pics i'd like to see how much the custom and the standard windshield rubber covers along the edges.

Thanks JOtt

The seal's are the same size as far as I know the only differance is the trim cut into the gasket. Here is my custom one.

I don't have any good pictures of the windshield installed.

I dont think they are the same because i saw a picture on spraybombs build thread and you can see his standard rubber and it sits back father than my custom did. Does it just depend on the brand?

That could be. I don't know for sure.
