I ordered the 28-29 Open Car Windshield Gasket set and I see an issue.

The rubber gaskets that fit into the narrow trough of the Windshield Stanchions are to narrow.

I believe that these gaskets should be wide enough to fit real tight within these troughs.

Not going to glue them in that is for sure.

I am thinking that these strips will fit reproduction stanchions but they sure do not fit the originals.

If they were made slightly wider, I do not think there would be a problem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

If your kit was better then this one...Just where did you get it?

Thanks.
