Take note that they have not been able to locate the front and rear window trims for the curved glass per their comment below:

"Special note-JULY 2020: We have yet to find the correct new replacement glass bead for our curved front and rear windows. We are sending a sample to a Pelland and Interstate to get them to ID and select correct one. When we get it, we will update this post with that info! All other materials that have worked for us are listed below with links to products and their distributors."

I am looking to find this stuff too - and made the mistake of already removing the old stuff and junking it.

Anyone else have luck with those???

Talked to Cayo today and he said try putting the gaskets that work for the other windows in "hot soapy water" for 5-10 mins to see if it will seat. He said in so many words he is not in the business of selling that stuff anymore, and referred me to another supplier to buy some if I need more.
