Hello Everybody,
Long story short should I use the rubber seal or leather seal for the wiper pivot to cowel.... is one better than the other?
Thanks!

Use the correct material for your year. Neither is "better", but the leather seal is much thicker, and would alter the installed height of the wiper arm pivot.

64-66, leather, 67-68, rubber.

Thank you!

Many thanks , A lot of these mustang parts places list the rubber as 64 through 67. The vendor I was dealing with said they don't make the leather seal anymore and that the rubber was a better seal. I knew I had seen the leather seal on other websites. Thanks again.

Glazier Nolan still lists the leather ones.

And the seal is not intended to deal with water, so rubber would perhaps be better- On a boat.

and why 64-67? Was 68 some sort of unwanted stepchild?
