the 73's front seal has been up-graded Posted by DougM [Email] (#211) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DougM) on Fri, 24 Oct 2003 13:46:58 In Reply to: Re: rear window chrome lock strip...I have a source....., gert, Fri, 24 Oct 2003 12:34:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
to the later style one....the one which has the bigger lip to over lap the dash pad better to prevent it from pealing. This newer style seal also takes a wider chrome strip....as wide as a C-900.
I pulled the lock strip from the 75's windshield and it is more triangular in shape...not flat on the bottom like the rear....it has a point which fits into the groove of the seal. I picked up a later year seal for it and the wider lock strip at the convention, so I just need to pull the windshield and install the newer stuff...(without cracking the glass).
I guess you could measure and buy the same stuff for the front...it looks the same width, and try it. At $1.50/ft, it's worth a try.
