<VV> Windshield Dilemma (Chrome Strips)

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Hi Randy,
 
It sounds like you will probably use your existing Monza gasket if you  
can't find the 500 gasket in a swap.  Please excuse me for stating what you  
may already know but please do not just rip the chrome strips out which would  
bend them up.  The strips are valuable to someone who likes the Monza  
look.  They aren't making those strips any more .... to my knowledge.

I would like  to say thank you to all who responded to my question about 
the windshield  gasket and chrome.? It looks like it can be used as is, 
without the chrome  strips, and the only draw back is you'll see the line where 
the chrome is  supposed to go. 

??????Now, some have asked why I would want to use a  "Monza" gasket that 
way.? The reason is simple.? My windshield leaks with the  brand new gasket 
installed.? Since I'm going to have to remove the windshield  again to get it 
to seal correctly, and since I like the 500 look, I thought of  just 
forgetting the chrome strips as they don't fit correctly anyway.? Jeff,  at the 
Corvair Ranch, ?showed me why and basically how to fix it, but if I can  do it 
without messing with that i'd rather do that.? Lastly, does anyone out  
there have a nearly new "500" type windshield gasket they'd like to trade even  
up for a nearly new Monza gasket AND the chrome strips too?? E-mail me off  
line if interested.? Thanks.
