Just started on the vent window overhaul

Thanks, I'm sure ill be picking your brain when I get on mine. Are they a tight fit inside the channel, so as to not let rain water inside the door?

Yes very tight. You gotta pry them out and beat them back in lol

I would like to know where you sourced your gaskets. I replaced mine with them being sourced from Precision and they leak air badly. Thanks

I got them from classic parts. They are precision. No leaks yet

I've noticed that the seal kits offered for these are available in either one or two piece styles. Are the seals interchangeable? Does one work better than the other? Or do you need to stay with the style that was originally installed?

You need to put back what it came with. The one piece would probably work but you would have to glue it to the frame and it would be very hard to get it to seal.

Does anyone know of place that these windows can be sent and rebuilt? I can not seem to get the seals in correctly.

What are you having problems with. I may can help. It's very time consuming. Lol

Basically, I installed new gaskets from LMC. They leak very badly. On the outside the gasket is buckled up between rivets. I have since put silicone from the window rail to the gasket. Not- on the window itself. It has stopped all of the leaking but it looks bad from outside. If I redo the vent windows again, I am not sure If i will get different results. I am hearing that there are different quality seals from different places and this may be the problem.

That is more than likely the problem is the seals. I ordered LMC seals to start with and didn't like how they fit so I ordered precision seals. They're far superior quality. I know it sucks but I would start over and order precision seals.

Call precision, they have a guy that does it, I believe it runs around $350 for a pair of windows from what I've seen

What kind of paint did you use? Rattle can? And maybe semi-gloss?
