The mystery w/s;-)

[Toploader]

So there is a long strip of rubber/steel w/s that runs across the lower portion of the windshield, I believe it jams against the hood when closed.

Question:
Is it really needed?..........mine is falling apart/dry rotted........have looked in all the usual places for a replacement.......:-(
Can I just go without the rubber strip, or is it needed?

Bob thanks for that, but they do not have it, the parts guy told me they are "slow" to remove things from the internet site..:-(

If i'm not mistaken it is the same design as trunk weather stripping, just a lot shorter, so if you are desperate you can order the mustang trunk weather stripping and use that. I got lucky and found a mint car in the junkyard and just took every piece I could.

I would recommend having it, it helps keep rain and debris off the engine, among other things.

I have never called Pizza, Pizza...............I'll explain, where I come from we have always said............"going out for some pies, how many should I bring home?"............it was understood that "pie" was Pizza, and not Apple........why am I saying this??...........my goo-bah Sgandurra and I had a bit of a "discussion" as to what Italians call things.............after ten minutes 'we" just gave up and said.............."whatever"

Anyway, I have not had dinner, do not want to heat up the meatloaf, so off I go for a 'pie'..........garlick, anchovy, and pepperoni I promiss not to speak to anyone till tomorrow

Oh, Bob...............what do you want on your half of the 'pie'?
