I bought the new windshield from AMD and the gasket from DMT. After a great fight getting it installed, I am now baffled at how so few pieces can totally baffle me on the installation. The FSM and the Barracuda supplement are useless for this. If anyone has any good photos of which parts go where, maybe with my photos it won't be so confusing.

But on to another issue. The attached photo of the red car shows an original windshield gasket (DMT website). The close-up photos of the gasket they sold me for a '67 Barracuda convertible have a tall "rib" that sticks up and a gap - almost looks like a lock strip gap. I am confused.

Question #1. Has any member used the DMT 1967 Barracuda convertible with the mylar lockstrip at the bottom (no metal). If so, what does yours look like? Photos, please.

Question #2. Is this the correct gasket? 3 hrs and $300 of professional labor makes me hope so.

Question #3. If this is correct, does my chrome trim go into the groove? IF not, does it go over or behind the tall "rib?'
Thanks,
Bob

 

Thanks for looking.

The bottom is locked in with the Mylar. My immediate problem is, “Is this the correct gasket for a ‘67 conv, windshield locked with the Mylar strip? How does the chrome trim fit with this gasket?”

 

Thanks. Gives me a bit more to work with. If it’s not too much to ask, would you open the for and take a photo of the chrome trim and the weather strip on the corner of the windshield-door interface and where the small chrome pieces at the end that turns dow the inside A pillar?
Thanks again,
Bob

 

THANKS! That helps a bunch! As soon as I get back from working tomorrow, if I’m not totally burned out, I will use the info and give it a try.

First of all, thanks to members here for info and photos. But geez - whoever dreamed up the gasket, weatherstripping and the chrome trim on the ‘67 Barracuda Convertible deserves to be slapped around. I got it on, but I’ll always see the inadequacies.

First of all, I think the gasket I bought must fit some other models better than a ‘67 B’cuda. Looking at photos, the new gasket is just different. On top of that, it has a “lip.”

And the trim - 14 shiny pieces and 30 screws, plus 2 weatherstrips. I think I’ve worked on 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles that gave me less grief. Absolute proof you can’t take too many photos during disassembly.

Just guesstimating, but between research and install on the trim, I probably have more than 20 hrs in it (shows my ignorance).

 

But it looks great 10-20’ away

 

That’s what she said…
