Windshield Weatherstrip - Deluxe - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SONOSADSACK · 05-12-2013, 09:06 PM

Anyone have a recommendation of where I should purchase a windshield weather strip? I am looking for the deluxe style and will also need to purchase the trim. I haven’t had much luck with aftermarket product lately so I am asking for someone that actually has purchased and installed both the weather strip and trim to chime in and help me out. Likewise, if you also have spent good money on complete trash as I have, please speak up.

I got one years ago from LMC and it was fine. When you have the deluxe trim. The metal trim has to be in the rubber while it is being installed. Not after. You have to work to keep it in as you install the gasket.

Call Wes at Classic Heartbeat in Wash state. That's where I got mine and it went in perfect. Wes will also help you out with the SS trim. He will tell you exactly how good the repop stuff is. You might be better off finding an old set of trim and having it straightened and polished.
Mine had the original trim and I had it polished.
