Has anyone used Steele rubber products on their 1940 coupe.
The rear window gasket kit is my primary concern.
All the usual vendors are out of them.
The Steele ones are in stock at double the price.
My interest is the quality and fit from someone who has used them.
Looking for feedback.
Thanks Tom.

I have used Steele rubber products on my 28 Buick years ago. Top notch IMHO.

Steele was 'the" place for Buick stuff. It was always #1 quality. Ford stuff? I don't know from personal experience but have to believe their quality would follow through all makes.

Fit our 55-57’ Chev applications very good.

I've never used them on anything specific to '40 Ford, but have used them on plenty of other early Fords and always found their stuff to be high quality.

they make a lot of the DC branded rubber parts, I have used them a lot with no problems on 40 Fords
