Re: {Chrysler 300} Window gaskets



If you have the time, you could also soak them in lanolin before removal, if they’re really dry. I would imagine that would really help soften them and allow them to slide out easier due to the lubrication.

Thank you all for the replies. I’ll see if my glass guy knows how to remove the windows without cutting the gaskets.  I’d hate to damage the glass.

I have used  the  rubber extrusion in bulk  from  Gary Goers  many  times. to many to count .
you must cut to length . make the  splice in the bottom corners  of the glass . then super glue them together .
then use  wd 40  to install . Gary and I  put in  many  this way . 
Quiery  got all  the extrusions .  I just put one in a 60 convertable  the other day .   If  your slow it  will take an hour!!!!!!!!
or you can try to  make the old one soft again if you  have lots of time on your hands.

Do not cut or damage the original gaskets when removing the glass. Soak them in lanolin until they are soft and pliable again. A common source for lanolin is mechanics hand cleaners like Gojo.(ensure it has lanolin) I like the large tubs they sell as refills for wall mounted pump machines in mechanical shops; the product without pumice. 
 
I start by brushing it on heavily and keeping it in a plastic bag or bin. Keep treating it until it becomes soft and supple again. For me, the worst dried out and hard seals (from a California car) took several months of sitting and soaking to restore but they came back and cleaned up like near new. I did those ones 23 years ago and they’re still nice to this day.
 
If you’ve already damaged your originals, I’d start looking for a parts car to get them from. And those of you who have parts cars and are removing glass, keep in mind there is/will be value in the gaskets not just the glass.

For 57 and later Mopars, all the repro windshield and back glass gaskets are poor quality. For your 300G, you will have to reuse your gaskets.
