    His user name was Blimpie out of NJ. When I ordered one yesterday, it said he had one more left. I used Maverick Rear Window Gasket in my search. It is $49.99

    I had the both the front and rear gasket replace, but only the front glass replaced. The front glass was getting a tad on the cloudy side and didn't want to clean up. I paid $419 for it all (I had to provide the gaskets, they provided the glass.) I am only 5'1" and didn't think I had the height (or experience) to remove it myself without bodily injury.

    My installer was a great guy. He taught me how to remove the clips on the windows and the other chrome and how to reinstall them.

    But the best thing was what was (or not) under the gasket. No rust. I was sooooo worried.
