Help locating a Bob Drake tilt out windshield seal

[bbrust]

C&G adds BD to the Drake part number (78-701290-BD) buts says that the part is temporarily discontinued.

Drake's suggested calling Early Ford Parts in San Dimas, Ca. as they might have one on the shelf. Called them and they did. It's on the way.

I'm looking for one as well. Drake told me they are expecting more sometime in November, but not sure I buy that.

I've tried the Dennis Carpenter one and they don't push far enough into the windshield and too much sticks out. The leg on theirs is only about 5/16" deep and should be about 7/16. The solid piece then hits the frame and pushes the seal too far out into the opening.

I've used Drake's & Carpenter's seal. I didn't like the fit. I found the seal from Steele Rubber far superior to the others. Just my opinion.
