RCR GT40 Windshield Seal Rubber Recommendation

[Maui Brandhoff]

I’m almost done with the paint on my RCR GT40 and before I start glueing the windshield to the body I would like to know what seal works best to cover the gap between windshield and body any advice is appreciated

Below is what I ordered. I haven't installed the windshield yet, but it looks like it will do the job nicely.

CRL 5/8" Channel Molding With Butyl | CRL

CRL Gold Glass Channel Moldings are intended to be a replacement for moldings damaged during glass removal. They are applied to the glass prior to installation, and can be used as a substitute for moldings now being used on General Motors, Daimler-Chrysler, Ford, BMW, Honda, Mazda, Nissan...

Frankly, I’d hire a windshield installer to bring his truck to my shop and install it with the proper tools and equipment…. You can’t “cheap-out” on this. That windshield will become a structural part of your car and you rely on it for protection.

I was planning to have it done by an installer just worried they would not have the right seal to cover the gap

I send my RCR GT40 to be painted. The painter will remove the windshield to do it. I ask to Vicki at RCR to get a new gasket and the answer is, the wind whield is assembled with an adhesiv and do not need gasket. It is right my windshield is glued, but there is a gasket on top.
Where coul I found it, it seems special, is has the exact length of the periherie, it is not an universal type.

I couldn't get the space to put the SPF or any other gasketing around my windshield. It was too tight on the sides to make it work. I have several different types if you need pictures. I can sell you the SPF material if you want to try it.

Thank you Adam, it will not be necessary, when the painter will remove the gasket I will check the shape, but if it is a universal type, I pretty sure to found it with a vendor in France or England.
