Topic: 1979 - 1983 toyota truck windshield rubber Whats the Best?

[tgmaul88]

Ive heard some rumors about some rubbers being a low quality and some of a high quality  who has had real experience with the windshield   

I've found some on ebay, but rumor had it they were the ones that didn't hold the test of time

I have a cracked windshield currently and am looking to replace  and am shopping for the best rubber

I had mine replaced with the windshield at Speedy Auto Glass about 4years ago. No issues so far.

I got my rubber from the local glass shop about 5 years ago and have gone through 4 windshields since then always reusing the same rubber.

I am glad you asked that question...  I want to put a winshield in my '80 next year and I was wondering the same thing.  Gotta keep these 1st gens going!

X2 on just using an oem gasket.

Also I would not recommend anyone get their windshield replaced at speedy glass, they're windshields are low quality and so is their work. This is true for 2 windshield we've had done there. Never again will I go back.
