Where to Buy Rear Glass Gasket

[rtbcoop]

I have been looking everywhere for the rubber gasket that goes around the glass in the rear of the hardtop. Anyone know of a supplier? Or even a PN or NSN? I've called several of the surplus places and still can't find it.

I used RTV gasket maker when I restored my hard top. The army used something similar as it was very hard to remove during the restoration.

Might give Boyce Equipment a call. They usually have that kind of stuff.

Going to be needing the same thing. Subscribed.

Boyce didn't have it. I was thinking RTV but I don't think it is UV resistant which is kind of a big deal for me since I am out in FL and I am not yet cool enough to have a garage that fits my deuce! I think this black rubber sealant would probably work but it doesn't say anything about UV. http://www.permatex.com/products/pr...ealants/permatex--black-rubber-sealant-detail

I have used polyurethane roofing sealant on a variety of sealing jobs. It is very UV resistant by nature and comes in green, black and gray. I like the characteristics in that it hardens but does not become anywhere near brittle, nor does it flow when heated by the sun.

Do you have a Home Depot nearby? This material is $6 per tube: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/203163...toreId=10051&N=5yc1v&R=203163733#.UWimv0rPZac

That was one of the options I was considering. I was also thinking of windshield sealant. I am just afraid they would be a major PITA if I ever had to remove the window again for some reason. Since you recommend it though, I may give it a test run and see how it goes.

Found it. Download the Auveco catalog (http://auveco.com/product/index.html) and check page 335 (pdf page 365). These wont wrap around the corners but it looks like they would do the trick.

We had some n.o.s gasket at one time. It dosent work! Use black rtv. Tnjmurray.com

are we talking about the rubber/ felt type material that goes IN the window track where the glass slides??
if not, does anyone know where to get THAT stuff?
my rear slider refuses to stay closed heh

 

[rtbcoop]

No, we were talking about the rubber seal, not the felt. Try a window store for the felt. They should be able to get something close.
