55-59 windshield rubber

I see the Steele windshield rubber is more than double what you can buy on ebay. Is it worth the extra money and what did others use?

Re: 55-59 windshield rubber

Some say it fits better. I got softseal from classic because others have had good results with it. I will find out this summer...

Re: 55-59 windshield rubber

I bought Softseal from the Car & Truck shop, doesn't fit worth a damn. I've never heard a single complaint about Steele and will replace mine with that whenever final paint is done many moons from now.

Re: 55-59 windshield rubber

Thanks for the response guys. I kind of thought after all this effort this wasn't the place to try and save money. You forget about the money a long time before you forget about something thats not quite right.
