LMC Windshield Gasket?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone used LMC's windshield gasket before? It was the cheapest one I found and I'm beginning to notice everyone swears by Precision's gasket. I get cheap stuff when I can, but if it's a crappy gasket that will leak and cause problems I'm willing to fork out the extra dough for a better one.

No way I'd by a windshield seal from LMC, but that's just me.

I used one on my 63. seems to be ok so far. 2 years.

I don't know what you paid for it but I got my Precision from Classic Parts for about $25 (10% off entire order right now). But normal price is $28. BUT!!! When you order specify that you want a Precision seal. They get them from several vendors so you have to note it on your online order or tell the person if you're calling it in.

I am ordering mine right now but don't see how to get the 10% off...

Type SPRING10 in the promo code field. You can always get 5% off by using promo code STOVEBOLT as well.

Hmm...I paid $28 for it and with shipping it came out to $38 or something like that. If I got one from Classic Parts it would come out to $33 with shipping and the 10% discount. That $5 difference would probably go into a flat rate USPS box to return the LMC seal. I'm not totally convinced it's worth the hassle to get a Precision seal yet. Good to know about the discount codes though, thanks a bunch!

My LMC gasket went in perfectly and never leaked ever since.
