Looked at Steeles catalog and there sure proud of there products! While American is half the $.
I'll check around but would appreciate some advise on fit and durability.
What did you use?
These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

I used LMC windshield and vent window rubber on my truck and the vent window rubber was cracked and falling out after SIX MONTHS of normal use. The windshield rubber was a terrible fit. I ordered new windshield rubber from Steele and it's a whole other animal. I'de like to replace all my cab rubber with Steele rubber. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 4,886 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 4,886 | You will get what you pay for. I went through two windshield seals on my '37 is a couple years, the Steele seal has been on for 13 years and still works as good as the day I put it on. The others hardened up or cracked, to the point the wind shield would not shut all the way or seal.
Go with Steele and you won't have to do it again.

Steele it is.
Thanks for the advise.

Be sure to follow the directions to the letter.
