Default Windshield Replacement

Need to replace windshield on my 88 and was told that I'll need to replace the rubber around the glass as well. Would this be just the A-pillar rubber or will I need some other pieces around the glass too? Thanks for the help.

I have NCM insurance and had a crack in my windshield. I called around my area and got recommendations from a Corvette specialist body shop. I used the installer they recommended. They used a new seal and charged $500 for the entire job. $0 deductible so I did not have to pay anything. This was late summer 2013.
Here is a post from 2011 that might help:

Yes, just the A-pillar weather strip.

There is a piece at the bottom of the windshield along the dash. I don't think you can get it anymore. I'd say most probably just reuse the old one.
