I'm looking to replace the front windshield on my 521. I found this place does replacement gaskets.

Can anyone explain what 'without groove for metal trim' is referring to?

Found this guy for the glass
https://www.vendio.com/stores/bobsclassicautoglass/category/foreign-glass/catId=4428014

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with the above vendors or had any other recs for replacement glass and gaskets on the West Coast?

This guy found a place for 521 windshield gaskets years ago, he was reasonable at the time, he also made me a windshield for my 520, and made 19 Datsun 320 windshields for me, he made the gaskets for them also, I might have 520/521 gasket in my stash, but since you live in CA you should get a new one from him if you can, new is always better than old, otherwise PM me.

 

Here is a link.

Without groove means exactly that. There is no groove for the chrome trim inside the rubber gasket. It is molded mostly smooth and intended to be used without trim.
