    New glass from ferrari na or pro-source does not come with the rubber gasket or aluminum trim.

    I have never seen the oe ferrari rubber gasket sold by itself...it always comes with the aluminum trim.

    Depending on how the windshield is removed the rubber MAY BE salvaged.....the glue ferrari uses is really good and the rubber does get some damage when removed.

    If you don't wind up with one here, try Eurospares. They offer the complete set, including the aluminum trim, for under $600.

    I'd check with them that it is the complete set just in case!

    (I know the part number and drawing show the seals and trim but I would still check just in case)
