Going to have the windshield replaced next week.....looks like there is some kind of silicone under the front windshield. Did they not use rubber gaskets around them back in 69? :confused:

When you have your windshield replace make sure who every is doing it know how to do them on a older car. Alot of new guys just want to throw them in. Also you should have 2 brackets at the base of you windshield that help hold it in place when you put it in. A lot of cars are missing them. It keeps the windshield from sliding down when it is first installed.

I have got to have a new one installed in the 72 vert after driving season is over after the rocks broke it during our 2 week journey out west. Luckily its covered by insurance.

I have to replace mine too. Rock hit it a few weeks ago on our way to Baker's cruise in.
