1967 Dart Front and Rear Windshield Gasket replacement

[BT67Dart]

Hey Guys,

I have a 1967 Dart 2 door hardtop with the front and rear windshield gaskets shot and in need of replacement. Did a fair amount of research and think I know the options, but to make sure with the group that I am not missing anything.

1. Front windshield - has a gasket with plastic push in trim, chrome plated
Option A - Can still buy replacement gasket and plastic trim, albeit prone to mixed reviews (leaks, improper seal).
Option B - Upgrade to a 68 gasket, install reveal clips, purchase used OEM chrome trim (heard there are issues with aftermarket trim).

2. Rear windshield - has a gasket with actual steel chrome trim attaching to reveal clips.
Option A - try to located a 67 rear gasket, but that looks to be impossible. Re-use chrome trim.
Option B - use 68 rear gasket, install reveal clips and OEM chrome trim from a 68 car. Unclear if the 67 chrome trim I have will work with a 68 gasket.

Any suggestions from those that have gone thru this before?

Thanks in advance for you insight.

We swapped to 68+ style front ws on our 67 cuda.
If you decide to stick with 67, make sure you only use Precision for the mylar lockstrip. It is the only correct one. Sit down when pricing lol. Ill get u link to thread I did when we swapped to 68.

You already have real trim at rear window. I would seek same for front window with the 68 self locking gasket. Front trim is different post sedan or no post coupe.

Thanks guys. I'll do a bit of searching and see if there is a good used front chrome set available. I know the 68 gasket is available.

Check AMD for the trim.
Or @RAT ROD AL may have some.

When I got the 4th and final piece of my rear window reveal moulding the owned said "come and get it, it's yours" 50+ miles 1 way was not a problem. My wait to find that single piece was nearly 13 years. The front shouldn't be as difficult to gather. Good luck.

 

[BT67Dart]

Wow, 13 years is a long time to get the last piece of the puzzle!

I'll check with Al, he helped me with a blower motor a few weeks back.

I've got an extra, new-in-box '68 front gasket from Steele Rubber Products less the locking strip.

Make me an offer and cover the ride.

Not 100% positive, but I don't think that gasket type is intended for a 2 door hardtop dart. It looks like it is set for a convertible.

The one that I am looking at is in the link below.

Don't know. Would be nice if they showed a profile view. Too cheap to cut one I guess.
Don't know "chrome" either. There was a chrome look mylar insert. Real reveal mouldings are stainless.
I spent a lot of time cleaning a OEM one piece self locking from a 68 fish to re use in my 67 fish.
Maybe look at Steele rubber products.

Steele rubber products lists the following for a 68 dart hardtop.

That looks more correct to my eye. Costs more. I can't advise how much you spend.
Question, does your Dart have interior trim at front glass or does rubber show at headliner and bottom?

 

[BT67Dart]

Can't answer that question since I'm out of town currently. What does it mean in terms of the gasket?

 

[RedFish]

In the Barracuda the gasket has a flap like that lays over the headliner attach points.
I seem to recall something had a trim part inside. Could have been at rear window too. Can't recall.
