Gotta replace both windshield halves and both door windows...

ALL the window rubber and also the metal molding that trims the door windows looks too ruff to bring back.

Any after markerters that do a proper job with such things??

Thx. GiG

are you looking for someone to do the job or a place to buy the parts? all the vendors have the seals, and likely you'll have a variety of auto glass shops around that could cut the glass

If you buy the glass from an on-line vendor, buy the seals and setting tapes from that vendor. That way, you are more likely to have things match during installation.

Carefully inspect the glass as soon as you receive it. Look for scratches in the glass and serious chips on the edges. Replace/return if necessary.

I would recommend Steele Rubber Company for the windshield rubber if you want the bottom corners to fit flush on the glass. They are pricey, but so are leaky windshields.

Ditto on Steele Rubber.....Do you have a glass shop local??? Flat glass is relatively cheap and if it is available locally you save on shipping and handling. Just another option... Have fun and good luck
