Model TT enclosed cab windshield question

Post by Etudes10 » Mon Dec 18, 2023 5:26 pm

I need to replace the rubber weather strip on my 25 TT between the windshield and windshield frame. This is the lower fixed portion. I didn't see anything listed for this specific application from any of the vendors.
Curious what others have used.
Thanks, Greg

Added a picture of a couple small pieces that survived.

Looks like part number 7840D at Langs.
If you are not sure, you can ask on their website or call. They're always very helpful.

Thanks John, I asked Lang's on their website. Part number 7840D is 1inch wide. The rubber from the TT is 3/4 inch wide. I will probably order and try trimming it to fit.

Greg... The rubber that's on the truck is original from the factory? Through the years, age, sunlight, drastic temperatures, and plain old atmosphere will tend to shrink rubber. Compared to what the vendor has, the new rubber is only 1/8 of an inch short on each side.... And after all these years, I'm sure the wood dimensions of the frame have shrunk a little also. Good luck on fitment of the new rubber.
