[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Windshield gasket

[Gilles Blais]

Hello Sunbeam enthusiasts,

I am replacing the front windshield of an early Alpine.  The old gasketing rubber is not good enough for re-use.  The best replacement material I have found so far is an extruded grey "U"-shaped rubber used for household storm doors and windows.  I also found an automotive black rubber gasketing of the proper thickness, but it comes in small rectangular flat sheets.  It would be perfect if it was available in roll form.

I do not want to use urethane or silicone, which is what the automotive glass shop suggests.  Is there a commonly available material for this application?

Thank you very much,

Gilles
