Help 39 4dr convertable windshield seal
Hello: Need 1939 4 door convertable front windshield seal with grove for chrome trim.
I can find it without the grove who has the proper seal with grove? |

Re: Help 39 4dr convertable windshield seal
You will look forever with no positive result, The 39 convertible windshield gasket does not have a seal groove for the stainless ring. I think you are confusing this with the 1941-48 style gasket that has a stainless ring applied to the seal rubber. The stainless steel trim is a separate ring on a 37-40 and captures the pinch weld of the window opening sheet metal. The gasket to seal the glass is applied around the glass and installed from the rear and held in place with the windshield garnish molding.

There is no grove in the rubber for the stainless trim, the trim is attached to the "A" pillar windshield surround, the glass fits into the rubber and the unit (glass & rubber) fit into the opening and the windshield, interior garnish molding helps secure the windshield.

Barry,
I tried Drake years ago. I can get replicas made but it sure would be nice to have originals. Thanks, Chris.NZ. |

Re: Help 39 4dr convertable windshield seal
Is it possdible to install the trim after the rubber and glass are in, or would it take to many beers?
