Windshield inner seals, does anyone sell them?

I'm going to rebuild one of the windows. The other is already urethaned in place. But the other with the broken glass had a original seal in it. I've been searching, but I haven't found anyone that has them for sale? I guess if that's the case I'll just seal these in like the other. But I wanted to try to put it back "stock" if I could. Also how much larger do people have the glass cut for urethane sealing them? 1/8"?

Forget those seals: 1st they don't really seal - rubber U-channel is way to thin to function as such. 2nd they only accelerate corrosion of the frame, by retaining moisture forever!
Any good polyurethane adhesive-sealant (like Sikaflex 221) sure is the way to go. Easy to apply- and easy to remove (with a wire brush wheel), if the glass ever had to be replaced.

Glass dimensions remain the same, either way.

Adirondack Dodge used to; I bought a set from them. Here is their website:


(The M44 series and M37s use the same windshields.)
