deja Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) I just received what is supposed to be a hatch glass gasket for my 280Z. But it looks more like a windshield gasket to me because of the squared off corners. Can anyone confirm this is a hatch gasket or a windshield gasket?

nullbound Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah, that's what my last one looked like, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks guys. Can I assume the square corners go at the top? Now all I have to do is get the courage to attempt intalling the glass. I got Safelite to instll a new windshield but they would not install the 33 year old hatch glass. It doesn't look that hard to install but its something I have never done.

nullbound Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yeah, the square edge is for the top corners. I found the rear hatch glass to be easier than the windshield, especially when it comes to putting the chrome trim in the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 That chrome strip was what took most of the time for the Safelite dude. I watched closely how he did all that. I will attempt to put the seal on the glass and install the strip tomorrow. Yeah, the square edge is for the top corners. I found the rear hatch glass to be easier than the windshield, especially when it comes to putting the chrome trim in the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Well i'm glad i came across this. I have a big box of seals i got with some parts i bought. In the box there was what i thought to be 3 windshield seals. I just went out and checked and What it actually was is 2 windshield and one rear hatch seal!!! i was just getting ready to order one when i came across this thread!!! thanks.
