Mounting A Windshield

[NEBRVET]

I have a 2002 Nitro 188. The passenger side windshield was pulled out of the track. I want to replace the rubber in the channel. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

I have the exact issue on my 2002 188. I bought some windshield adhesive to attempt to glue the glass back in but I don't think that is the solution. I am hesitant to glue it since it will just glue glass to the rubber gasket. I have got it back into the gasket and track and am just watching it care fully this summer. Did you find any solutions?

Nothing yet. I have a local parts guy willing to help find something that will work, I just need to find the time to get back with him.

I am in Wisconsin, so FL may not be an option. Anyone find a solution?

Have you looked on McMaster Carr, they have a lot of gasket material and materials as well.

 

[NEBRVET]

I contacted the guys in Florida for mine and they shipped it to me.

How was the install? Holding up well?

 

[NEBRVET]

Yes it is. I added some silicone in a few key places and it is holding very well.
