1966 Chrysler 300

[callmejim]

Can anyone tell me if there is a gasket for the rear window?

 

[The Horvaths]

Yep.

 

[callmejim]

Yep.

Next question, where might I get a new rear window gasket?

 

[commando1]

Depends, there are several gaskets.
For what body style.

I have a 1966 Chrysler 300 2 door hard top

Nobody reproduces a rear window gasket for that car.
Sorry.

 

[Fratzog]

Don't know if any of these generic parts would work for your application. Assume you would need to call them.

Did some more digging. Steele never used to list this part. New item?

1966 WPC Newport Polara Monaco Fury 2dr Hardtops Rear Windshield Gasket Seal

I saw that one also. 66 Newport and 300, appear to have a different rear glass.

 

[commando1]

Crap. Forgot about that..

Back to what I said, then. No one makes one.

 

[Dobalovr]

Unless it is a Canadian 300 in which case the Newport seal works....just my .02

The 66 300 rear window gasket is a one model/one year item only.
There will never be a repop for it.
The 65 300 had the same rear window as the Fury, Newport, and Dodge.
S.O.L.

Yet another Mopar mystery on why they went to the extra expense...

If anyone ever does find of a source for a rear glass gasket 65-66 New Yorker/Plymouth VIP/Dodge Monaco 4 door hardtop, please let me know. Actually the 2 dr and 4 dr Chrysler use the same roof and glass, but the other lines 2 dr models use the 300 or Newport roofline.

Try Brad's NOS. I was able to get the windshield gasket for my '65 300 from them. The "reproduction" from Steele was incorrect.

If you still have the old one, try covering it with GOOP hand cleaner. The lanoline in it will soften up the old rubber, you may have to keep applying it, but it does work.
