New 63 dart windshield gasket?

No, I have not heard of GoodMark, but I am guessing that if RockAuto is selling their products, they can't be all that bad. $35 is a great price. I imagine you'll still need to get a locking strip too.
I bought my windshield gasket and locking strip from SteeleRubber and the rear window gasket and locking strip from MuscleRoad. They were quite a bit more than $35.
 
Thanks for the info. Unfortunatly these damn 63's have a one year only rear windshield id be better off trying to make a gasket out of gold for the asking price of one of those gaskets.
 
I know what you mean. I feel the same way. There are a lot of one year only things on our 63s.

LOLROFL what on earth gives you that idea? RockAuto offers a lot of good quality parts, but they happily offer a TON of garbage—and you can't avoid it just by shopping on name brand, as I found out the hard way (see here).

Goodmark is a resto parts vendor better known in the Chevy world. Quality of their stuff ranges from "pretty decent" to "Trinkets made in China of mulched-up political dissidents and unwanted girl-children". Two times ago that I needed a windshield gasket, I bought one that cost about $35. It didn't fit very well to begin with, it leaked, and in less than a year it began shrinking, cracking, and "bleeding" black stuff along the paths water ran off it. Then I had to cough up the money I should've spent in the first place, and that gasket was obviously and durably much better.

Reliable sources for the '63-'66 A-body windshield gasket include Metro Molded Parts and Steele Rubber. It's going to cost you (much) more than $35, but on the other hand it'll actually seal the water and wind out, seal the windshield in, and last a reasonably long time.

Thanks for the input Dan. I was looking for a cheap temporary solution because I drive my car everyday and with the holidays coming up not much extra cash for car parts. I suppose I'll keep it parked when it rains.
