Don't know if you can any more. Though that only the no-chrome version was available. Maybe someone else can chime in.
 
Anyone know where I can get the windshield rubber/gasket for a 79 model pig with the chrome trim?

You can forget about finding one with the chrome trim.
 
"No-chrome" version is the only available.
 
I just picked up the no chrome piece from SOR a few weeks ago. The salesman asked if I wanted the chrome trim version or the one w/o it. I chose to go w/o the chrome as it just seems to be more to install & keep clean in the future. He didn't say it wasn't available though :meh:
 
Thanks guys for the quick replies. Kinda what I was afraid of. SOR did show the part number for it, but it showed discontinued. Confirmed that with a call. Looks like I'll be shedding some chrome!!!
 
I am going to go on a quest to find this/or something near enough so that the bling will remain on our trucks. I refuse to believe it to be unique to the pig and non-obtanium. It's not all that different than what's in my 73 TVR (although it uses a plastic chrome spreader, but gives the same effect). It has gotta have a near match out there somewhere. The quest begins.....
 
Hmmm...this looks interesting...from an early VW scirocco

I called Jon @ Slocruisers and he didn't have it for the later model pigs.

I thought all '55's had the same windsheild and therefore the same rubber?
 
From what I understand the windshield is the same for all years. In the later yrs (78-80) they dressed them up with a piece of chrome trim that fit into the windshield gasket (rubber). With so many more earlier pigs being in circulation as opposed to the later yrs, they've discontinued the later gaskets as the earlier ones will work just fine. They just won't accept the chrome trim. Heck I'm just happy I can still get the early ones. Anybody want some nice windshield trim!!!!
