Willys Aero windshield and rear window weatherstrips

[Aeroman]

Years ago, John Parker made these for 1-piece windshields (1953 Ace & Eagle and all the rest thru 1955) and wrap-a-round 1-piece rear windows (late 1954 & 1955). Divider bars for the 2-piece windshield and 3-piece rear wrap-a-rounds could be added. Rudy Phillips ended up with these.

Rumor has it that Rudy has run out and will do a run of about 30 of each if someone buys them all. I think this would be a good thing for the Manufacturing Fund to do.

Not realizing that there are none in stock I would support this. I would only need one set though, not 30!

Has anyone talked to Duane Hays lately? I bought front & rear gaskets from him last year. They have the groove for the stainless trim insert, front was for 1 piece windshield, the rear was for the wide window, too large for my Lark but I snagged it anyway thinking I can figure a way to cut a section out & re-bond the ends if my size doesn't turn up by the time I start reassembling.

Rudy had the front and rear window rubbers (1-piece front and 1-piece wrap-around rear, both with the slit for the stainless trim), but I heard he sold them to Duane Hayes in Peyton, CO. I do not know if Duane has moved them from SoCal to Colo yet, along with the other Willys parts he bought from Rudy.
One piece windshields are part number W-325 and I believe all the NOS tinted ones are gone now, but clear windshields are still available thru places like Iowa Glass and others. Ebay has them often, along with back glass (1-piece small and wrap-around and 3-piece wraparound) as well. I have heard that someone has re-made (or plans to re-make) the 1-piece windshields, but cannot corroborate this.

I have a one piece clear rear glass for an Aero that I would be glad to give to someone who'd promise to use it. I was given the glass by Paul Brimm years ago and I'd just like to pass it along...before I trip over it and break it!

I also have several rear windows in good shape: a few small ones from Larks, Wings and Falcons and a few 1-piece wrap arounds for the 1954's and 1955's. I have several 3-piece sides and maybe one center. Let me know if you need them. All are good with no separation or discoloration.
