    I was searching the web for a good deal on a windshield gasket and I came across Parts Train. They are selling the front for 36 bucks and the rear for 48 bucks. So I ordered both. THREE days later I have a new windshield gasket and the rear is do to be hear tomorrow. Almost done and boy it's been ALOTTA WORK.

    Sure, it is always OK to point out good deals for hard to find parts.

    BTW - I see it is a Precision Parts, which is a Wisconsin Company. Look at the packaging for where it is made. I'm wondering if these are domestic or off-shore made. Please post what you find.

    :)

    I baught mine from Car Stuff. It is also a Precision Parts gasket. I recently posted about finding a windshield gasket for a little over thirty dollars. I can't find anything on the packaging, showing it is from another country. I did see on my package that they are an ISO 9001-2008 company. Craig Selvey said, all of the gaskets for our cars, were made by the same company. The only difference was, how much you could get it for. Here is the thread.

    I just looked at a Precision package. Ford licensed but made in Thailand. So from what Craig said in that thread link, does this mean all windshield gaskets for Mavericks are made in Thailand? .... :hmmm:
