Ok.. Since we know Mark knows what he's talking about I called Mark with Marks Glass but he was out (it's already late here now anyway). Talked to a super nice young lady who said Mark would be glad to offer help. Even though I'm on the opposite side of the country. Frscke, thanks for the link. I'll try to catch him again tomorrow.

Mine is however one piece, completely around the windshield, with the locking strip attached. The view "A" is exactly like mine. I should've took some pictures this weekend. Too many projects. | | | Re: windshield 94 chevy | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 | yep, the join on mine is sort of 'rubber welded' see my first picture, is that what your is like? please say yes :-) it means im finally getting somewhere.

I am seriously considering reusing mine and installing the window myself. | | | Re: windshield 94 chevy | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 | I am seriously considering reusing mine and installing the window myself.

He had the windshield that fits the '94 with him but it won't fit the old style gasket because the '94 was a factory glue-in. He said that the windshield being changed from a newer glue-in type back to the older gasket type was a popular thing for glass guys to do and was good because, in his opinion, the gasket is better. However you have to have the proper windshield to go with the gasket. He sounded like he knew what the deal was and has been doing auto glass for 30 odd years. He has ordered a windshield to fit a late '70s model so it will match with and we can reuse the gasket. He's scheduled back Wednesday afternoon with the late '70s glass so I'll have more to post then.
Whew....! It's just a windshield ain't it Phils?
