I re-installed my old windshield after having the frame re-chromed. I found
that the gasket material purchased from TRF was much too tight to install and
ripped when sliding into the frame. Instead of the TRF gasket material I
then went to an auto parts store and purchased a roll of the semi-soft,
stretchable gasket matrial that is used to mount modern windshields. I
stretched and pushed the material into the windshield frame and any excess
was squeezed out when the glass was pressed in. Any excess can be trimed
with a razor, you may also find that you have to re-trim a few days later.
One word of caution. The gasket material moves much easier when warm, a cold
garage doesn't assist the project. Also, don't overstuff the channel with
too much material.
