gasket wrinklel
I got my front windshield put in today, I have a few wrinkles in each of the upper corners, other than that it looks good, original trim installed and still in good shape,
and before anybody says anything yes i used a Precision gasket from GMC Pauls, and a original OEM front windshield I cut out of an rotted truck in a field

Re: gasket wrinklel
I have never seen an after market installation that the gasket did not wrinkle a little. It's all good.

Re: gasket wrinklel
Im curious as to why you didnt go ahead and weld in patch pieces for the area above the windshield before the ws install. Will you have to pull the ws to weld the pieces in?
