I used a Bob Drake seal with contoured corners. It was very easy to install and sealed well around the WS opening.

As for me, Dennis Carpenter makes the best rubber products.

I used the Draqke seal on my 37 and it fit very well. Rubber was pliable and was easy to install.

I asked this same question here on this forum last year when i needed a new rubber windshield gasket/seal for my car. After all the responses were posted i decided to buy one from both Drake and Carpenter and evaluate the offerings from both suppliers myself. So far i have only installed the Drake seal and i really liked everything about it. I will be using the Carpenter seal on a windshield i am replacing glass in now. I'll report back on how well that installs and fits soon. Long term, I will evaluate how long each one holds up under actual use.

Thank-you John, I wish more people took your approach to products. I am fed up 'fitting' new replacement parts that should just go on without any rework. I am very close to running my car and I'll start giving some feed back on the things that I used....thank-you again,....Matt in Alameda
