When I had the windshield replaced on BLUE; Tee asked the guy if he might have any extra rubber window moldings and showed him our HATCH rubbers that were drying out and breaking. He gave us BOTH some large window rubber molding made for LARGE FORD TRUCKs and yesterday measure them up; cut the holes in them and cut the slots out for the hatches.

Today I went out and figured I try to replace the old with the NEW and to my surprise it came out pretty darn good. I doubt this part would be too expensive but FREE is better and FUN to try to figure this out myself.

Here are a few pictures of old and new...
