Windshield Molding for 1999 Tropical

[sirpurrcival]

The windscreen molding on my 99 Tropical (probably the same for Dolphin and what not) is getting pretty old and tired. This is what holds the 2 piece windscreen in place. Anyone have any insight as to whether this is a generic part or custom sourced?

Hi sirpurrcival,
I have a 97 Dolphin and my molding is getting bad . My brother told me that the molding is a standard type. I am have a problem with one window moving on me. I am going to have my molding replaced this spring .

I had contacted a couple of glass places and neither had responded to my inquiry prior to posting here. As murphy's law would suggest, I got a response from one not long after I posted here. They told me that they can get it but they are going to send a technician by first to check it out. I came close to loosing the whole windscreen in the face of hellascious
winds just a few weeks ago. Ended up having to have it glue in place just to make it home. However, I figure I came close to have my first Class A convertible or at the very least pioneering a new RV Cleaning technique. I'll post on what it costs me so you can comparison shop.

I had my figure eight gasket replaced a while back and the guy didn't comment about getting the gasket. Here is a copy of the quote for referance.

Thanks for that, it is good to have a ball park figure although up here in Canada, you never can tell whether the same part is going to cost similar or way more.
