I was wondering how the fit was. I am on the fence about getting a reproduction frame and gasket or going with the one-piece V-bend windshield. Thanks, Al. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | I put a new frame / divider in my '40, as old one was rusted out at corners. Frame came from Jim Carters. I also ordered divider and gasket from them which is a big mistake. Gasket was cheap rubber - very inflexible, and divider came with rubber separate from stainless - impossible to get that thing together. I ended up with new gasket and assembled divider from Steele Rubber which was much better quality. Had glass set in frame by local windshield shop using polyeurethane caulking - worked great. | | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | Has anyone here bought and installed the new windshield frames, rubber gasket and and deviders that are available through various suppliers for the 1941 to 1946 Chevy pickups?

One word in who makes great rubber products, STEELE. It will cost more but it is one of the best if not the best rubber I have seen made. As far as the one piece bent windshield, well I hope you have deep pockets because they ain't cheap, something like $3-400...joe | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 17 | Thanks for the replys Guys. I'd really like to go with the original type of frame and glass, but don't want water leakage.

Have fun and good luck
