Anyone use the Softseal brand of windshield weather-strip? I contacted the company and they have the seal, but they said there is no locking strip. I was under the impression that the stock seals had a locking strip.

Question: Anyone buy a new windshield recently? Looking for a good vendor. I tried locally, but am getting Safelite, AAA autoglass...all installers - and I want to do this myself.
LMC - $254 ($129 + $125 freight)
Brothers - $249 ($139 + $110 shipping)
In removing the windshield and seal, i found black rtv all around the pinchweld. Is this factory rtv? In watching windshield install videos- I havent seen anyone use rtv. Any thoughts anyone?

When I park on a hill or driveway nose high and the truck sits for a few hours - it has a difficult time starting. Just cranks away. Only when i put it on level ground does she start. Anyone care to venture what the issue might be.

Quick question...do the 24 bolt humvee wheels need the pilot washers when bolting the halves together? My rims did not have them and when I put them back together there is lateral play. if so, do I need 24 of them?
