Hello 71hotrodpinto,
I hate to tell you this but that gasket is made by Dennis Carpenter.
It is not NOS it is a RE-POP.
I called Dennis everyday for 2 months to get him to make the windshield gasket and he mad that mold too.
BUT... DO NOT get me started about Dennis.
OK YOU DID ALREADY!!!!!
Dennis WAS going to sell me 100 W/S gaskets for 75.00 each.
The day before I sent the check they showed up on ebay for 69.00 BIN
I have not called Dennis since.

Anyway off my RANT!!!!
You can buy this gasket anytime you want.

Funny thing is... Dennis asked me what gasket to do next and I said DOOR GASKETS!!!!
He said what about rear hatch glass gaskets?
I said NO.... Door gaskets!
In 10 years of selling Pinto parts I have never had anyone even ask for a hatch glass gasket.
WELL... The BIG dummy makes them anyway??????

From Pintony

hmmmmmm well duh my eyes saw NOS but sure aint there!!! lol :lost: :lost: :lost:

Anyways well why didnt he make a rubber for the sedan??? I Need one as mines leaking ever since i took out the rear window for doing the headliner( which now needs done again )
So what a dummy for not doing the door gaskets ! Hell id take a pair for 150 if they had them. Sigh :rolleye:

If it makes you feel any better, there 89 on the website and there usually around 69 for the start bid on ebay these days. No i guess not....:mad:

Hey scott did you notice a significant differance between the sedan gasket and the runabout gasket?
DO you think it would work for the sedan?
Just grasping at straws i guess
