[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Windshield gasket

[Ric Scofidio]

Hi,

I just replaced the windscreen on my Alpine with the glass and all rubber
from Bamforths. 
<sunbeamtalbotspares at tiscali.co.uk> Their prices were:

glazing rubber £5
bottom screen rubber  £12

Worked out well, without any problems.
 
Hope this helps,
Ricardo

Subject: [Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Windshield gasket

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
