12 cab window and seal
Windshield rubber seal for the sides and bottom of the frame can be purchased reproduction from George Moir Antique Auto Parts Canada or Sacramento Vintage Ford in USA , the same rubber seal fits Ford Model A cars 1928-31 cost is 5.95 per roll cdn, more than enough for one cab, fits 13 cab's also. Fits very well, use silicone spray on the rubber and it slides in the groove with very little trouble.
Rear window on my 12 cab has out side frame as well as inside frame, inside frame holds the two sliding metal protectors ( not windows as there solid steel ) and the outside holds the glass plate, I used a rubber seal from a glass shop that repairs heavy truck and bus flat glass windshields, the seal is grooved and hold the glass as well as being grooved for the sheet metal of the cab, the rubber comes in a 25 ft roll. cut what you need.
Roof hatch seal is solid rubber on this 12 cab and has identical cut and grooves as the wood used on the later production 13 cabs, not sure if it was covered with horse hair and canvas as the wood was ?
