I take it the windshield for GT 1 is ‘63- ‘67 Corvette? Correct? Is the appropriate gasket also Corvette? Or is it just a generic rubber? Mine had a chrome filler strip. Is this correct? If Corvette, convertible or coupe? They seem to use different gaskets. Any help appreciated.

Hi, definitely coupe, not convertible. Over the years various gaskets have been used; Corvette with & without the chrome strip and generic with a black locking strip, if you can find the correct profile. Mine is a generic with a black locking strip. Modern cars simply mount the windshield in a bed of black urethane mastic. I have heard that some GT owners have done the same, however you may have to modify the lip to do so, you may need to check with your local auto glass shop to see if that is a viable option in your case.

Thanks. That is pretty much what I thought. The gasket in mine is still remarkably resilient other than having shrunk somewhat leaving a big gap in the middle. I like the idea of the Corvette gasket with the molded corners at the top. That is the one spot this gasket didn’t make the cut. There was a significant amount of goop applued to each top corner and I’d like to avoid repeating that.
