55.2-59 serious fit problems with Classic Industries Replacement Glass...any tips?

If the glass is tempered there isn't too much you can do with it.

As far as rubber goes, most guys end up going with Steele Rubber after they fight with the other stuff.

You might talk to the guys at Sanders Reproduction glass in Vancouver. https://www.sandersreproglass.com/

I'm thinking seriously about taking my 48 down to them when it comes time to get the glass put in. Mainly because I am going to need tempered door glass.

Yup, I ordered a rear seal from Steele. I will compare them and report back so hopefully I help others make the right choice. I figure the money spent on the windshield moldings and seal is gone in that Classic Industries won't take them back after I have installed them, even though they fit crappy. The front glass is perfectly centered and the glass went in very easily (as rope-ins usually do) but there's something funky with that seal and the molding.

Anyway, I will report back when done...

No windshield is tempered, it's laminated.
