Default Windshield gaskets

I'm in need of new windshield gaskets for a 2000 42 Fountain Lightning. Any one knows where to get them? Aside from Fountain that is....they want almost $1000 for them....
Thanks...

Do you know what years Taylor made the windshields? I've heard that some were Taylor and some Fountain in house. Also have heard that Taylor could supply the shorter versions if someone had the right product number.

I've read that there is a part number in the Taylormade windshields - lower rail on port side front.

I have heard this as well, friend was told this by a customer service person at Taylor. If someone out there with a short one could look might be a big help to all of us wanting to go to the short version.

I got mine from Fountain 1.5 years ago and they were under 300$. Not sure if we're talking about the same thing but here is a pic I got from Joanna at that time. I'm not sure if she's still there or not.

They are part of Baja Marine now and they just requoted at $600.00 (mistake they say) + shipping. Your pic is very helpful. Thanks

I could use a roll of the stuff that the glass sits in - I need to custom cut lengths.
