45forme,

Is the angle on the windshield adjustable? If so, do you know how this is done?

It seems to me that when these trucks left the factory there had to have been "NO" leaks through the window. What I have noticed with my window is that I think I've just got the wrong rubber seal installed. It is too "stiff" and doesn't flex well at all. It needs to be softer more like a silicone rubber. Also, I'm not sure that the profile is correct. Anyone have info on what the correct rubber profile design should be on this era Stovebolt?

From what I'm seeing in the previous posts, Steele Rubber must be the best place to go for the right seal. Anyone else have success with other suppliers? Looks like JC is out of the picture on this one.
