I've read that when replacing the windshield gasket it is important to get someone who is experienced with older-style gaskets because they are different.   I've also read that lots of glass shops aren't going to really want to replace just the gasket for me because I am providing the gasket which cuts into their profit margin - they aren't making a profit on the windshield or gasket.  Having said that, I'm looking for suggestions for where to take my car to have the gasket replaced.  My current "list" is front and rear for my 114, and front for my 113. 
Thanks
Scott

I would recommend Thomas Top & Upholstery Co., 1317 N Cahuenga Blvd, Hollywood  323-469-3277.  They didn't install a windshield for me, but did a fine job with the much harder task of reinstalling the rear quarter windows in the hard top.   That takes a lot of experience with 113's, so I'm sure they would be quite capable of handling a windshield gasket as well.  I can't remember the guy's name, but it's a small shop, so it should be easy to find the right man.
