Title: Windshield gasket lock bead
Post by: Glen on May 25, 2019, 05:17:44 PM: So so we went to put the windshield back in an can't find the lock bead. Does anyone have a place to get just the lock. We have the main gasket still and was hopping to not have to buy a whole lot.

Going to double check the garage again but I have a feeling it is long gone. :(

OK took a look , I have it, it is about 1 1/2ï¿½ short, thought I saved the piece but could not find it.ï¿½ Anyway let me know if you need it.ï¿½ Postage to Canada will be about $8-10 US I think.
In the meantime I think I would call around to some auto glass places, they might have a roll of it.
