Start a heart transplant mid November with LS1 and SM465 :-)
I am wanting to replace my gasket between the bottom of the windshield frame and the body.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good one, preferably not Omix or Crown. I think mine of so old it has turned hard so I can’t pull my windshield back as far as it should be. It should be 67 ¼ from top of frame to back edge of the jeep and I am at 68”. I got my soft top on my using some clamps and ratchet straps a bit at a time over 2 days to stretch it to fit, but I am looking at putting a hard top on so I need to do something to get it to tilt back about another ¾”
I am hoping a new gasket will be soft enough for me to get there.
