1949 plymouth p-17 front windshield and gasket

[1949 p17]

we are looking for a good deal on a windshield and gasket for a 1949 plymouth p-17. we wouldn't mind using a universal gasket. the car had no windows so we weren't able to make a template for the glass shop. any help would be appreciated.

If they have the pattern on file or the old glass to use as a template.  Otherwise, who knows.

 

Steele Rubber is a good way to spend extra, in this case even MoParMall is cheaper.  Look on Ebay, listings there are half of MM's price, but quality?  I dunno.

FWIW

in an effort to save money I purchased the front and rear gaskets that Bernbaum sells. what i got was rubber molding by the foot. far cry from the factory style molded gasket sold by Steele. After much thought I opted to purchase the gaskets from Steele. Could an experienced glazer have used the Bernbaum product, I don't know. What I do know is I'm not an experienced glazer. Moral of the story trying to save money cost me more in the long run.

If you don't have the windshield, just trace the opening onto a piece of cardboard. Bring the pattern and the gasket to a glass shop that can cut flat laminated. They will be able to make the necessary adjustments to the pattern to allow for the gasket. (I ran a glass shop for years.)
