Re: [ihc] Windshield gaskets

[Howard R Pletcher <n9ads@xxxxxxxx>]

The Deluxe Exterior Trim package, code 16933 for 1973 and probably quite
a few other years, included Bright Finish: Windshield and Vent Wind
Moulding, Rocker Panel Trim Moulding, Roof Drip Rail Moulding, & Parking
Lamp Bezels, plus Chrome Bumpers and Bright Finish Hub Caps.  Custom
Exterior Trim Packages, code16937,  included the same plus Wood Grain
Side Panels and Stainless Steel Wheel Covers.  Not random, it just
depends upon what exterior package, if any, was ordered

I'm not sure if the Light Line chrome trim strip is the same as the
Scout, but the exact width piece for the Scout is not available.  Most
glass shops have a chrome strip for GM cars that is about 1/16" wider
which can be worked into position in the Scout seal with some effort.
