but a few things don't add up....

why 89-93?
RH? right hand side?
plus it says *temp N/A* - temporarily not available.... :?

suggestions?

I think the windshield changed in 89.

any suggestions, Mike?

it's not a dire need, but it would look 10x better once i get it replaced.

E0AZ19562A for 85-93 (and earlier). This is the gasket that holds the windshield into the body. Good for all years.

For Verts, there is also the trim that also goes around the windshield...and my part sheet calls it a "seal". It is the black plastic part on top. It does change part numbers in 1989:

85-88 = e3zz7603160a
89-93R = e9zz7603160a
89-93L = e9zz7603161a

Which do you need? I think looking at the picture, you need the ones I listed last.

the "seal" sounds correct. probably NLA from dealerships, right?

www.GreenSalesCompany.com has plenty of all three parts.

His trim *looks* like the trim on my 90 vert. I'm having the same problem, however, mine isn't pulling loose from the corners, the gap in the center is getting wider.

I had the same problem. This is what I did. I worked the seals back into the upper corners where they belong. You'll see the corners actually molded into the seals. You can work them back into the corners by pushing, pulling, or taking a flathead screwdriver and pushing at the ends. This will create a gap in the middle of the windshield. I took a peice of seal I had from another car, cut it to size and glued it in the gap in the middle. You can get a used seal from a junk yard and save some money and it ends up looking really good because those new seals don't fit right anyway. You have to stretch them to get them to fit then of course they shrink back and then you have the gap and the pulling away all over again.

i believe on pre 87 its a one piece and post 86 its a two piece. i suspect to deal with the skrinkage issue.
