Re: Installing windshield without rubber seal ...possible ?

we are talking about the same thing I think. the truck I showed has a flush mount glass and used a small piece of trim to close the very small gap between the metal and the glass. the truck you showed has a tighter fit and does not have any trim on it. both are installed with urethane glue instead of a rubber gasket.

I havent seen any kits to do this, you can go to a glass cutter and they can measure, cut, and install it easily and they will have all the tools. my guess would be that cutting glass that is close and needs trim would cost a lot less than it would cost to cut glass that fits exactly, so make sure you tell them which one you want.
