[FC] Windshield woes

[Paul Steinberg]

I can't say specifically which ones didn't work, since the early model rear 
window gaskets were purchased from Clarks Corvair, however, I don't know who 
the supplier was at the time.  This goes back about 5 or 6 years, and I have 
no idea if there has been any improvement in the fitment of the rubber.  My 
rear window still leaks and I have yet to try to fix it after 2 unsuccessful 
tries and purchasing additional gaskets with the hope that the next gasket 
would work better.
The front windshield gasket the I had purchased came from Corvair 
Underground, and it was not a good reproduction.  I did locate a NOS gasket, 
and used that.  I also deal with Pilkington Glass, and Al Smith is the 
fellow that I deal with.  He is a great guy, that will go over and above to 
help any hobbyist with any glass issues.
Are you making a reproduction FC gasket that accepts the stainless steel 
windshield moldings?  thanks Paul in CT
