What a difference!!! The old window had a crack right in the area where you looked at oncoming traffic. This is really nice to have that gone.
We installed a new gasket and went with out the chrome trim.
I cannot really notice the difference and the glass shops I had talked with all said that seating the old chrome in the new gaskets was a royal PIA and new imported cheap chrome was not all that good to begin with.

I am now looking at wipers . I bought new LMC arms and blades last year, Has anybody found any better ideas for wipers ?? They were only marginal at best in a rainstorm.
