300H Windshield Replacement - answer

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Doug,

Speaking from experience, do NOT go with a new (repro) rubber gasket.
Re-use the original. If that is damaged in some way, replace it with a good
used original gasket. Someone like Murray Park ( mbpark@xxxx) should
be able to furnish a good supple one at a reasonable price. And it WILL
fit - unlike reproductions, that do NOT FIT .

The only other thing you might need are the metal clips that hold the outer,
top stainless in place, over the gasket. If your car is a West Coast, dry
car, they will probably be OK. If your car is an East Coast car, they will
probably be rotted out. There are no repro sources for these, only what's
out there in Arizona junkyards.

I did stock up on last trip to AZ - e-mail me directly if you need some.

John
