Body Windshield to Cowl Gasket

[Super8mm]

I am wanting to replace my gasket between the bottom of the windshield frame and the body.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good one, preferably not Omix or Crown. I think mine of so old it has turned hard so I can’t pull my windshield back as far as it should be. It should be 67 ¼ from top of frame to back edge of the jeep and I am at 68”. I got my soft top on my using some clamps and ratchet straps a bit at a time over 2 days to stretch it to fit, but I am looking at putting a hard top on so I need to do something to get it to tilt back about another ¾”

I am hoping a new gasket will be soft enough for me to get there.

Sorry folks that i didn't follow up on the fairchild cowl seal, I didn't end up swapping it on until I put my hardtop back on week before last. It's definitely better than the omix junk. Fits nice but it wasn't real tight against the front of the windshield frame. I ran a bead of silicone inside but haven't had rain to test the seal. I also purchased their hard door weatherstrip, window felts, and scrubbers and the fit was spot on.

Even my original, which is still on, cowl seal, was not tight when I bought new over 40 years ago. Can’t think of the stuff I used but worked great. Not silicon but came out of a tube, but real tacky and dried pretty quick.

Weather strip adhesive perhaps?

Yes or something very close. I think at the time it reminded me maybe of rubber cement but is still holding well all these years later.
