    I'm hopefully going to be getting around to swapping out the cracked windshield on my '77. The guy I bought her off of actually had a pristine one he scrap-yarded and threw in with it... bonus.

    Anyways - can anyone on here that used the $36 gasket from PartsTrain attest to the quality? I saw Craig mentioning they are all made from the same Thailand :slap: company, but before I ordered it I thought it was worth seeing if anybody had trouble with this one. Hope to hear they went in and keep the water out!

    They are ALL made by the same company, and many of us on here have used it with no problem. I have personally used (2) of them. You will not have any problems.
