Windshield stainless .. Could it be better? I hope so.

I'm not really satisfied with my new stainless.. There are gaps that I don't think should be there.. Is this as good as it gets or am I being too picky?

It seems to me that oem does in fact fit tighter.

looks a lot like mine after I got it redone with OEM trim from 67-70 and precision gasket. The prior install used a non-precision gasket and 71-72 after market trim. It looked good from the outside and the trim laid flat but it leaked like hell when I drove it in the rain.

Look at the upper corners on the inside. Are they seated nicely and look correct?? My windshield rubber corners looked somewhat like yours and i had to go back after a new windshield was put in and pull on the corners to get them to lay flat against the body on the outside. Good luck Brian F.

That's about what mine look like, aftermarket trim and gasket. Irritatesthe crap outta me. Leaks when wet too

I would hope the fit of pieces, even aftermarket, would be better than that. The gap is terrible..must be a better solution?

I carefully hit on it both the trim and gasket with a rubber mallet to get a better fit

carefully is the byword here

Judging by the photo I would think that it's not seated all the way down. You can see a faint line on the vertical trim that looks like it should come down another half inch or so. Then she should lay flat. Looks like a nice build! Good luck!
