Re: Windshield gasket blues: Precision supplies Steele and possibly Soff Seal

I think the problem I'm having with mine is that the trim is not in the correct shape. It may have been tweaked when it was removed from the old gasket. And it was beat on by the installer on the bottom corners. I can see it is smooshed down on one side. Where can I get good trim at for replacement?

I think I need a better seal for my rar window also. I installed it, no problems with that. The seal is just not tight around the edges. It fits loosely if you know what I mean. Didn't have a problem when it was installed in my old cab.

I'd go to the parts board for OEM trim regardless of the effort involved in tracking down a set. Doing so would have saved me a lot of $$ and time. I regret purchasing repro trim.
