RE: {Chrysler 300} NOS 57 to 59 vent gaskets

A trip to the parts book will show a different part number for the vent windows of sedans vs hardtops. Also google images or illustrations in the parts book will show differences.

Hardtop vent window glass differences are determined by 451 (1957) vs 453 (1958-9) windshield. The 57 vent window has more of a curve at the top than the 58-9 vent window.

hi Ron ,

great info , sedan and hardtops are different , glass too ?

i have encountered slightly different glass wondered why ?

if you know about this —and not already up on tech site somewhere , write up ? photo of both or describe differences?

very confusing thing if you do not know , and I did not , these often are a fight to get to seal right

Those are for sedan. Not hardtops. Also, people can ask any crazy amount that they want for NOS parts. That doesn’t mean we have to pay their prices. There are always other sources.

Found these looking for something else. Someone may be looking for these. Unobtanium is getting pricey I have to admit.
