OUCH!!!!
found this while surfing the web for new rubber gasket...
I will replace rubberI've heard that 'breaking your windshield' routine many times. (When they say that, it is guaranteed that your windshield will be broken). I have taken many windshields out of cars and have never broken one and I am not a professional installer. If you remove the trim and carefully cut under the gasket on both the inside and the outside, you can lift the glass right out. NEVER pry on the glass and NEVER push on the concave side. You are going to need a new gasket because of the age of your MH.
I would NEVER try to install a windshield though. Here's where you will break it. Just take your new gasket along with your windshield to the glass shop and have them install
it. I have a good relationship with my glass shop and they take care of my many projects at very fair prices.
The removal process is very easy. Just take your time, follow my suggestions, have an assistant, and you'll be successful.
to me windshield should not break
I could take off rubber gasket off with little effort...
Im thinking of going to a franchise windshield installer and pay a little extra..

I have talked to a couple of shops to replace rubber
around $65 to $85 with a 50% chance of breaking windshield..
new windshield 110 to 150 if old breaks...
I will look for a Toyota rubber gasket
Linda no leaks are not covered by my insurance they wanted $250 deductible to fix..
-
called insurance Progressive my deductible is $250 to get windshield fixed..
I did buy free windshield replacement for $30 a year..
their quote on windshield was $350.
I used a junk yard windshield install company for replacing windshield in my Nissan they did install for $35 I might call them up and see what they would charge.. They did a great & pro job..
Steve
Even for windshield? Maybe check your policy in case it's lower.
Around here, if I'm not mistaken, it's often $50-$100 and the windshield shops pay the deductible for you! Of course what that really means is that they boost the insurance company price.
I agree with Derek.
There is a national chain that repairs/replaces windshields. They are contracted by my insurance company - the one with the gnome and the lizard...
I called with a cracked windshield, and they came out to where I work - the replacement was $100 and took 1 hour for a corolla. They also vacuumed the car and offered new wiper blades at a good price.
I think if it is just chipped, they won't replace, unless it is real bad and cannot be repaired. Just one of my opinions, and I have many. So many that I have to give them away.

Ive been wanting a led rope for cabover bed these might be the ones,,,

Would your insurance company spring for (or help spring for) a windshield replacement? Conditions would have to warrant a replacement, but think about it.
That was my first thought but my deductible is $500 so would be cheaper to reinstall with new rubber

if it does not have a hole through the metal i would think taking the glass out and replacing the rubber with brand new rubber and totally resealing the glass and rubber by a quality auto glass shop. i sure would check with another shop.
yes a new rubber would work..and I think fix it
is the rubber universal..not hard to find?

called allot of junk yards for new molding but no luck..
I was told that any truck from 1986 to 1992 would work..

This morning while it was raining my car alarm started to go off
so ran out to see what was going on (in my underwear unfortunately) went out side everything was ok theft wise..
the alarm was shorting out from the rain..
water got into the cab by traveling from windshield then just keep flowing under metal/rubber windshield gasket and runs into where the left fender and door meet up
the water runs between the fender & door seam and gets into the cab
I went to a windshield repair shop he said windshield is sealed as far as glue goes would not say much about the trim kept sayings its not the windshield....
so I'm going to talk to another company see if they can put a better seal on it or more effort then last guy...
the metal & rubber look ok besides some bond-0 from last owner trying to stop this leak...
so the windshield is sealed no water gets in from windshield it just runs off windshield like their is no metal trim or rubber at all..

looks good to me
I ended up buying this camera setup...
along with this camera which was made of nicer quality...
I ran the power wire from my ignition so that the camera and wifi transmitter start anytime the vehicle is on. I then mounted my iPad and wired it into my radio so that the iPad comes on anytime the key is on and automatically connects to the camera and starts video feed.
The camera/wifi transmitter are of decent quality. Not great but decent!
The video quality is plenty fine and works awesome. I ran the power wire down the frame and up through the back of the truck. I mounted the camera INSIDE the truck looking out of the back window. I decided to do this so that the camera could not get ripped off on tree branches or something on the outside of the truck. It makes backing up much easier than before and is nice to see behind me while driving down the road.
This is a screenshot of what I see while sitting at a red light. The enlarge picture makes the quality not look as good as it is. It is certainly not 1080p but it is fine for what I needed.
