top window gasket question

lovemy93 · Mar 1, 2016

Hi guys ...I have a 93 .......I bought the window gaskets for my top because the chrome strip inserts are all cracked and peeling ......and I really dont like chrome that much anyway......I bought the gaskets with out the channel for the trim.....then I ran into this black trim insert [SIZE=14.0000009536743px]http://shop.broncograveyard.com/Windshield-Reveal-Molding-Black/productinfo/25182/[/SIZE]

heres the thing my gaskets are perfectly fine they look good no cracks and do not leak........anybody ever just replace this trim without replacing the gaskets ??...I really think the black would look good.........one last question ....what if i just removed the chrome cracked trim and didnt replace it at all ???..

thanks in advance

I take it you are talking about the front window outside trim. If so, it will look like crap without trim, that is why they put trim there..

No I'm talking about the side windows of the removable top..... Sorry I guess I wasn't clear... Thanks

I believe what you call the trim, is what spreads the rubber causing it to seal. With out the insert the gasket would be "fall out" loose. My chrome-ish insert is also cracked and ugly. Let us know how easy it is to replace it.

I have heard that the insert is more then a decoration a few times now but what I don't understand is... you can buy the gasket with out the channel for this insert so Im not absolutely convinced . I talked to the body shop I deal with and he told me hes put new inserts or molding in old gaskets that were on the truck before. So I guess I will buy the black molding from the Graveyard and have the body shop try to install them . If he can do it I will just return the gaskets I bought.If the old gaskets are to hard or get damaged trying to do this then I will just have him put on the new gaskets that do not have the trim channel and be done with it ....personally I like the all black thing anyway ....i hope to have this done next week and I will let you know how it goes.... and if I can figure it out I will post some pics ....thanks for the responses
