Hi folks,
I have a leaky windshield on my 1967 Fairlane... I am having a hard time finding a seal to replace it... is there something that I am missing here? I've tried Mac's and Dearborn to no avail...

It's glued in. Take it to a glass shop or have a mobile service fix it

It's not glued in, it's a butyl form of stuff called window glazing/bedding compound. 3M makes it.

You are correct there is a seal/gasket,and they can be hard to find.I have my windshield out now and can post a picture of how the seal fits if that helps.

Ihad a leak at the top of mine. Took off the molding (not too easy) and stuffed some sealer in there and it's been dry inside for years.

that would be a great help and WHERE o WHERE did you find the seal?

I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. The original I have seems to be reusable I hope. I am lucky enough to have a couple parts car I can use for another one if it's not. I knew before I took the windshield out that they are tuff to find so I was very careful.Maybe these guys can help you out with a used one if you don't have one.

I just pulled my windshield out and had something like 3M winshield ribbon sealer on it, no rubber seal. My other 66 was the same way.

FE is right, I've never had one out but I know lots of people who have and the '66 and '67 definitley do not have a seal, it's gooped in place only.
