37 Swing out windshield

[40cpe]

The Bob Drake seal has moulded corners and many think it fits better. I have a Carpenter seal and at first it didn't seal well. After much trial and error I got the frame adjusted in the hole and it works well. The goal was to eliminate visible air gaps and wind whistles. I don't know if any seal will stop all the water all the time. I bought a Drake seal before I got this one adjusted and it's still in the box. If I remember correctly, the Carpenter seal was $20 and the Drake seal was $50.

Your old seal is probably rock hard by now. Devise whatever tool you must to get ALL the old seal out of the groove.

Knowing all you have been through with that car, the seal will be a breeze.
