I couldn't find the recent thread where we talked about the gaskets for the fixed rear glass gaskets on Stude station wagons.
Anyway, the news is tha Ed graciously sent me a sample of a gasket he'd had made and had never had a chance to check as to it's fit. I'm happy to report that the stuff was dead nuts on as far as matching the original stuff that's on my '58 wagons rear glasses (which happen to be out right now). In comparing the old to the new, it's obvious that Stude used a rope caulk (Dum-Dum) IN the glass channel as well as in the channel that fits on the frame edge.
I think it's safe to assume that this rubber would be good back thru the '54 Conestogas. Probably Lark wagons with no reveal mouldings as well, but I'm too lazy to go check the part numbers to see if they're the same.
