Looking for Windshield "Round Seal"

[Tinwoodsman]

I am trying to source two seals which go on the windshield hinge bracket. It is P/N 8741839 shown as #22 in the attached illustration. Any ideas if and where these can be located?

Thanks,

Is that what 22 is ? I have never had a gasket in there, i do not think, ? gee if there was i would like a few also

 

[Tinwoodsman]

I will let you know if I find any.

When I replaced my windshields, I left the screws that hold the windshield to the upper frame loose and just ran a bead of silicone in there to replace the gasket. So far, no leaks. But if you can find the gaskets by all means replace them.

I needed these quite a while ago, called around quite a few places as well as checked with some of the OEM's and couldn't find any. I think the outlook is pretty grim.

Probably, I have found some expanded neoprene cord at McMaster Carr. Does anyone know if the original seal was round. My old ones are too distorted to tell.

I am redoing my cab right now and when I took the windshield off it just had a 1" wide x 1/8" foam weatherstripping under the windshield.
I may just go back with that.

Sorry I was thinking it was the gasket under the windshield, miss read..

I sent out some of the stuff I used as a make-shift gasket. It has worked well for me, but I have since found a windshield top that was brandy-new. I have yet to install it, so if you need pics, let me know.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Let me take a look at what you sent first. If it worked for you it should for me. I don't want you to go to any trouble.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Too late. I had to run out and get some info for Special Ed, so I grabbed pics for you. The stuff I sent is square not round but it isn't as dense, so it compresses easy. Here are the pics.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Are you talking the just the round seal or the whole upper assembly? Do you have two?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I have a couple new uppers. Only one set has the gaskets though.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

My uppers are in good shape so I think I will try the seals you sent me first. I will let you know how it works out.

I did find some round seal from McMaster-carr, see link
I used it and it worked great, but you have to buy 100ft of it.
It runs about .21ft.
So I have a lot lift over.

How well did that stuff work. I need to do my windows this summer.

 

[M35A2-AZ]

harleyrkc, It worked very well. I used a little weatherstripping glue on the ends and a spot in the middle to hold it in place till I got it screwed down.

I would be willing to buy some of your leftover so I can do my windshield. Let me know

Hi,
There is a product called backer bead, it is designed to be placed around new house windors before the window frame is caulked to the window opening. It is round expanded foam, is is very compressible. The 3/8 inch might be the perfect item. Home improvement stores have it usually in the window insulation area.
