OK, LMC windshield installed with the same Dennis Carpenter gasket. And the fit is only marginally better if any... All four corners still have a 1/8" to 1/4" gap.
My 1964 bus windshield and 61 gasket that had shrunk so much it had torn at the original seam and had a 2" gap in the center of the gasket, and was hard as nails but did NOT have gaps like this in the corners.
I compared the original Ford to the LMC and Carlite windshield.
The Ford was thickest at 1/4".
The LMC was only thinner by a 1/64 or less.
The Carlite the worst at 3/16" thick.
Shape of all the windshields is the same as far as I can tell by stacking them next to each other.
So I am at a lost. I may pop it back out in the spring and try the LMC gasket.
