Default where to buy a whindscreen rubber?

Hello, My D1 has had a crark in the windscreen since day 1, I never really worried too much about it, but now that I'm going off to school I feel the need to replace it. I'm most likely going to buy a windscren from Pull a part! If anyone knows where to buy a rubber seal please let me know!

Thanks

Collin

Here is a Uncle Spike tip for you, put full coverage on your truck with glass coverage.
A few weeks later make a claim and get the windshield replaced, then a few weeks after that drop the glass coverage.
The windshield is cheap, the rubber is expensive, like $400.
I have full coverage on my truck, with glass coverage, zero glass deductible, it was $700 to have it replaced, cost me nothing.
Glass coverage on my truck is $24 a year, totally worth it.

Must be nice, my truck is $114/month for minimum liability in NJ. No points I'm 27.

$24 per year for glass coverage only, plus the rest of the insurance, full coverage is what I have because I cant afford to replace my truck if something happens to it, and the pay off on it is still around $4500.

It helps to be old when it comes to car insurance.

I watched the guys that run the glass service at pull-a-part north replace a windshied in a D1 a few years ago and it was not as difficult as everyone here tries to make it out to be. I checked with them on a replacement and they would supply a used glass and install it for $135 or about $175 more for a new one. Anyway, I chose to replace mine myself and was able to reuse the trim. The key to having no leaks is to properly clean the frame of the old sealant and make sure the new adhesive is applied evenly.

What? They would need to inspect it first? WTH?
How long have you been with these guys? Who do you have? Your agent told you this or do you have a discount cheap rate internet insurance company?
Or maybe its state law?
Can you switch companies and add glass coverage without a inspection?
