Finally got started. Got them both took out and disassembled. Gotta clean them up and get them painted now. It's not been real bad so far. Just time consuming.

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?

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 was very happy with the seals from Classic Parts. It's been 5 years, and still holding up to the Texas sun (co-worker now owns it, I see it everyday).

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

Looks good. I was looking at your pictures, I thought the rubber was supposed to spread around/outside the door frame channel, instead of inside the door frame channel, when installed. I'm getting ready to do mine also.

Thanks. As far as I know they go down in. I've seen people put them on the outside and it doesn't look good. IMO. If you have any questions when you get started just let me know.

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?
