Early A wagon side glass gaskets?

[Rocky65]

Does anyone make gaskets for the side glass on an early a body wagon? Checked the Steele rubber products catalog and no luck... I don't think I can get the side glass out without cutting the gasket...

I can order these up........

GG-W130 1963-66 A-Body Station Wagon -

GG-W131 1963-66 A-Body Station Wagon -
Chrome plastic lockstrip used with
#GG-W130. Enough for one side $ 49.00

ask someone with a parts car wagon that can cut the metal to get the window and gasket out safely. I have one, but not ready to cut it yet.

I would say you can remove these without cutting. If it has a lock strip-- you should be able to remove.
#1 make sure it's hot/sunshine.
#2 remove said lock strip
#3 use wedges made of plastic or wood (like shims from home depot)
slowly seperate the glass from the rubber(might have to cut some sealant)-- once you have a corner it will come out quickly
use the shims to hold it & roll the rubber lip- presto out it comes.
Getting it back in -- I cannot help-- never tried, Lawrence

Thanks Rick and all that replied... I will attempt VDART's method and try to save them... If not I will contact Rick. Thanks again...

Hi Rocky - I believe one of the Aussie companies has all the early A wagon gaskets, including all the hard to find stuff for the tailgate. I can check on it when I get home.

Blue Star Spares in Queensland AU - http://www.bluestarspares.com.au/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=8811 has the rear quarter glass seals for the AP5/AP6/VC model wagons, which is the same as our 63-66 A Body wagons. I believe they also carry the tailgate seals as well.

Those prices are in Aussie dollars and the exchange rate is quite good now.

How much is shipping on the tailgate skin? I can't quite figure it out.
