my windshield gasket is leaking... i need a replacement...

anybody know of a good source of windshield gaskets? anybody got one laying around perhaps???

[Subieguy]

Subaru part #665002820. It will fit Brat, Wagons and sedans 77-81. Hope that helps.

[Zefy]

aright i need some help now...

i'm pretty sure i found a windshield gasket... but its at a dealership in texas...

the place is called Pagan-Lewis Subaru... in Corpus Christi...

so any texans in the area wanna give them a call for me?

361-855-3452 part # is the same as above... (665 002 820)

save me some long distance...

if they do have a gasket i'll post how i found it where it was... if it works it'll be a great source of parts...

[SUBARU3]

This place has them NEW. Not 20 years old, that have been sitting on a shelf and dry rotting!

The dealer gasket would not be the best choice. The 2 I used from a dealer were OVERPRCED and were stiff and dry.

PRP has a BRAND NEW one for like $50

ok guys, I need a favor, apparently PNP only has 2 left and won't be making any more, and I need one, but I can't order it till Thursday, so I am calling "dibs" on one the lady said they haven't had anyone order one in awhile so I know the people in this thread haven't ordered yet, she also said that I shouldn't worry about them selling out but I know it's pretty likely, so all I ask is for one of the gaskets, my subaru and its wet floor will thank you for it!

[MachineAgeVictim]

price was around $78, I guess you can have one

but man my floor is already rusted through in one spot

[SUBARU3]

I guess I got the jobber price at $41

[Caboobaroo]

and I'm going to need one too for my Brat:( They better make some more cause here comes the demand!

[Zefy]

alright i just talked to them at PNP...

now they have been discontinued... also, they told me the price was 89 bucks... so i dunno what to believe...

i asked if they'd be willing to make more... he said that if we did a group buy of 25+ gaskets they would do a special batch... there would also be a large price reduction with a group buy... (he said up to $50 per)

so how many people need gaskets?!?!

[SUBARU3]

25 is GREAT! I'm sure we can sell them!

These gaskets ALSO fit ALL gen 1 wagons, coupes and sedans....EXCEPT GF. They can work in the GF , but it's tight in the upper L and R corners. (But better than a rotton gasket!)

We better get them, as I'm sure the demand is coming. A leaking front gasket will destroy these cars!

I personally don't need any, as I already bought from them.

Todd

[MachineAgeVictim]

I'll take 2, are they already sold out of the two that were left? the lady at extention 212 was going to sell one to me for $76.35

tell me about destroying these cars!! I don't want to do the repairs till I get it fixed

[moosens]

Put me in for two.

If it comes down to needing more I'll take a third.

MUST HAVE For any vintage Subarus that are intended to stay on the road for twenty more years.

[Subieguy]

Put me in for one. The one in my Brat is long since shot! Probably should get 2 but money is getting a little tight right now.

[Zefy]

alright i'm gonna start making a list...

2 - Caboobaroo
2 - MachineAgeVictim
6 - Moosens
2 - Subieguy
1 - Zefy
2 - Subaru Jim Maple Ridge
2 - RenaissanceMan
3 - Kingwill
1 - Subaru3
1 - YellowSub
2 - Subyluvr2212
1 - Leone

alright we need lots more people... tell your friends! i think EVERY gen1 car needs a new one... i don't care what they say... if they don't need one now they will soon!

perhaps a mod can sticky this to attract more people?

[Subieguy]

Scratch that, Put me down for 2. I just can't risk it.

[MachineAgeVictim]

maybe we can get a link to this in the for sale area, it probably shouldn't be moved there

I just ordered 1 of the 2 they have left, so there is ONE up for grabs imediatly, I got it for $75 from Toni at ext 212, once again their product number is WCR288

I'm still in for the 2 on the group buy, she said it would take 6-8 weeks to make a new batch

[RenaissanceMan]

Put me down for 2..

Does anyone know if these will fit my 77 stage 1 wagon???

-Mike

[SUBARU3]

I believe the gen1/stage 1 front glass is same.

Todd

[Caboobaroo]

put me down for 2 instead of one...

[kingwill]

place me down for two as well.
My Brat weeps in the rain, usually on me.

[SUBARU3]

I'm sure someone could buy a few extra and sell on eBay. There are Gen 1 owners not on the forum. Just a thought!

Todd

[MachineAgeVictim]

I got mine a couple days ago, these are great quality and nice clean rubber, it would make a great improvement on your 25+year-old car, even if your not leaking (take up your carpet and check)

[MachineAgeVictim]

stupid question but is this strictly a professional only kinda job to replace? or is it possible to do at home?

[SUBARU3]

It can be done at home. You need 2 people though.

AND....cut the old windshield out with a razor blade. Don't try to remove it with the old gasket intact. You will crack the glass!

To install, use a greased rope in the grove and pull from the inside, while someone pushes from the outside.
