I usually use the seals from Drake. Don't know who supplies Mac's. The Merc and Ford use the same seal.

I went with Dennis Carpenter for mine. No complaints.

While you are on the subject, there is a complete description, with illustrations on how to install '41 thru '48 Ford windshield's on the Van Pelt website. I found it to be helpful.

Mac's might be Vintigue.If so you will struggle as they are stiff- from my experience.

Bought from Dennis Carpenter for my 46 coupe and was very satisfied with quality and fit.

Be sure to get the correct seal for whether or not you have the center trim piece.

Carpenter has been my go to for rubber products ( for old Fords). Quality is good.
