[DeTomaso] Where can I get a windshield

[Jim Kosloskey]

Jim,

Thanks. 

Jack DeRyke provided the same suggestion which I am seriously considering especially since it is less prone to glass breakage. If it does not work I still have the option of reseating the windshield in new rubber.

I would just go around both sides of the rubber gasket with a thin line of silicone sealer.


Unless you know for a fact that the replacement gasket will seal 100%, you are likely to have leaks with the new gasket too.

The one I had in my car also leaked like a sieve.
