Vannin' Home Forums Chevy How to.... 1991 G20 Windshield Seal

In 1983 chevy went to a glue in windshield and seal prior to that the windshield had a rubber pop in gasket that could be removed and reused. The windshields are different sizes for theses 2 different applications. Expand your search to the older style gasket and see if they still make it or someone has one, take some measurements of the 2 different frames and see if they're the same. Just throwing some options your way.

We went with the new style glue in when we repainted our 78 about 10 years ago. I believe the body shop said it fit without any modifications to the frame.

Check out CatFish post on my thread about my winsheild when i was trying to get a seal.

If you have the one piece gasket at my 77 does you can remove that by going at the rubber trim inside the van with 2 flat screwdrivers little be little forcing the rubber trim outside the metal lip ... very slowly and carefully and you wont have to go far until the windshield becomes loose. To reinstall it put a piece of wire in the rubber channel all the way around and place the glass in the bottom of the frame work the windshield into place as best you can then start pulling on the wire to lip the rubber behind the metal lip and it will seat in place. Wipe the wire with WD 40. Ive done several windshields in my van in the 35 years I've owned it. My rubber is pretty soft from being in a garage most of it life so do whatever you can to make yours soft.

I too have been looking for a van w/s rubber...did you ever find one..even Steele rubber does not list one..like wow, unbelievable >>> just got a shorty van and am going to Boogie van it like when I was a kid...fun so far.

Welcome to the site rockin_rebel ... they are a pain to find but a windshield replacement shop should be able to get one to install.

Again welcome ....

Where did you get this front grill and headlight assembly for this blue van? Been looking can't find one for my 84 G10

Munz's blue van has had a 78 style headlight and grille opening added with a aftermarket tube grille. The grille may still be available through Stull as they are the same as some of the Chevy pickups. The grille can also be easily made out of round or square tubing. The headlight bezels are almost impossible to find new and you may also need the stainless style trim at the top and bottom of the grille opening.

You may need to change the panel behind the headlight depending on what lights your van currently has. Ours had round headlights originally and we had to weld in a panel from a square headlight van to make it work.
