Ditto on the LMC rubber and trim. Mine leaked from day one and looked like crap - stuck out of the rubber, even one of the corner pieces came off. Leaked so bad, I might as well not had a windshield at all. I ended up going with the regular gasket on the 2nd round and no problems, except that my back glass still has trim and it bugs me that they don't match!!

I just had two seals installed, first one didnt work, second one was GTG, safelite auto glass put it in, trim worked fine, I have the info on it but cant get to it for a few more days, if you cant find what you need let me know, Id be happy to get one like mine and ship it as long as you hooked me up just for the parts and shipping. (trying to help out, not make a profit)

Let me know

Yep, found one locally, less than 20 miles from my house. Go figure.

This Wednesday the windshield is going back in.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for all the help.

Well the windshield is finally in. This time it did work with the right gasket, although it still was a though job getting it in.
No more LMC gaskets for my truck, that's for sure.

Thanks for all the help.
