sancofw Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 From reading post, sounds like the windshields are different from Gen 1 to Gen 2 Brat. I found a gasket listed that says 80-89. Is there a difference between Gen 1 & Gen 2 gasket? Thanks, Forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Certainly a difference, they are basically nothing alike. '80 to '89 would suggest Gen 2 gasket, although it really should start from '82. The years listed for aftermarket Subaru parts are generally, woefully inaccurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 you could make it fit by shortening it to fit and using plenty of window weld urethane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk250 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I need a windshield gasket for a 79 wagon, and they dont seem to be available at all. Wondered myself if anything else could be made to fit, might be worth a try to fit a later model ? I wouldn't use that window weld urethane though, it will just MELT rubber gaskets. It's made to attach glass to metal window frames ! (late model type without a rubber gasket) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sancofw Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 OK, Thanks. I got an email back from them that said it fit a 79, but agree expect they don't know. Here is a link to the listing if anyone dares to order one and find out what it is. http://www.dkhardware.com/product-4940-wcr417-windshield-gasket-1980-1989-subaru-subaru-brat-fw653-chrome.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sancofw Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I received the gasket a couple of days ago. Haven't installed it yet, but it looks perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
