Windshield Leak Woes. Gasket recommend?
I found some old threads on this issue. Wonder about some more recent thoughts and experiences.
Looking at having my windshield done cause it leaks and my floor is always wet and I live in a rainforest.
I've talked to 2 shops that said they won't guarantee that it won't leak again cause this style of gasket is not the greatest...or maybe they've just never dealt with one. One guy told me you're not supposed to even use sealant with these which im pretty suspect of.
Some seem to think its best to re-use the old gasket, and that the new gaskets you can order don't fit well. Apparently new glass is also thinner..
Anyone had experience with the Steele Rubber products gasket? I've read some good reviews on them.
Thanks for any input, would really love to have dry carpets for once!!

Cowl cracks are VERY common on these trucks. They often cause wet floors. I would say more than 9 out of 10 trucks I work on has cowl cracks on both sides.
Last time I had to swap out a cracked windshield on my own truck. I replaced it with a 30+ year old OEM windshield which was installed in the original 1991 OEM windshield gasket.
