dbt,
Welcome to the "Stovebolt"!
On my list yet is to restore my crank-out windshield so that it is leak tight. In my situation, someone along the way installed a rubber gasket that truly does not conform to the original mating steel window frame. I believe that these windows originaly sealed. Off the show room floor I'm convinced at that time that these windows worked properly. The challenge is to figure out how to find the proper gasket that will frame out and seal these windshields. I've heard the Steele Rubber Products, 6180 E. NC 150 HWY, Denver, NC 28037 is a reputable supplier of classic rubber parts. When I get around to focusing on that part of my restoration I'll probably chose them. (

Nothing is better than driving down the road the road with that windshield cranked out in the Summertime and feeling the true air conditioning from a '40's era "Stovebolt"!!
