starlightcoupe Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Pretty explanatory. I would like to replace the 85-year-old windshield seal on my '33 Rockne 10 sedan. I would suspect someone at this point has found a reasonably close item that can be installed with minor modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalowed Bill Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Does your windshield resemble the other 1933 Studebaker sedans? If so all, of them have the same basic windshield configuration in 1933, and this goes for the Pierce Arrow, as well. The PA repop has been around for forty years and should be available.

starlightcoupe Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 The Rockne is smaller than the Model 55, but I suspect it's a similar configuration, which is why I inquired. What is "The PA repop?" Not something I'm familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlightcoupe Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 If the PA repop (by the foot) is what's available, that may be what needs adapted. The seal on the Rockne is one molded piece, at least for the sides and bottom. The top seal is also in need of renewal, and I have no experience with the original configuration, or even what the material is (or was). As you can see, I'm only trying to keep this original car safe, functional and usable. The windshield frame itself is still solid, if just a bit crusty. Concern about taking the car out in anything but perfect weather is a certain means to its functional deterioration. I'm not looking to restore it at this point; just to repair correctly what needs repaired, without concern if a little rain is in the forecast. I can de-rust and repaint the frame; but I prefer to not lose the original glass and 1958 inspection sticker. Any information on the frame's removal, reseal and re-install would be appreciated.
