M151A1 Windshield Glass Gasket/Rubber/Seal

Post by Rustman » Sat Mar 23, 2019 4:01 am

I top loaded the subject line to hopefully make this an easy topic to search and find in the future. I was poking around my restoration project yesterday afternoon between snow squalls and observed that the rubber holding my glass in is DONE. I poked at it and a chunk broke off in my fingers. I see a strip of NOS material on eBay. But what else have people used? I mean it's flat glass in a frame not too different then in a CJ or M38/M38A1 so I'd imagine glass shops would have a suitable gasket. But I read where somebody had a problem with their center divider not fitting after using commercial glass rubber. Likely a problem due to the gasket being thicker? But the original poster never followed up with his results.

Thanks

I used an A2 rubber gasket on my split window A1.

Thanks! That would really simplify it. Those are readily available.

I certainly appreciate the search glass to find the topic I am looking for so as not to create a new topic that’s been discussed already.
