i bought a one piece window kit from a guy off ebay it came from brothers trucks however no instructions has anyone installed one of these kits cause i have a some questions.........What seals the little aluminum piece to the door and where does the front track bolt too? I know you can go to there website and there is a pic tutorial for install but its not that great.

I installed Brothers one piece window kit in my 70 last month. It went in pretty easy with not much headaches. I don't have any pics but can get you some soon.The front window channel gets bolted in on the bottom hole to the door via a sheet metal screw. The aluminum triangle gets bolted in with one screw where the vent window rivets used to be. The front channel lays in the triangle and then your channel felt goes into it. I ran the door channel weatherstrip behind the triangle to help it seal. I hope this helps. Sorry no pics right now, I'm not down at my shop.

that is very good tutorial thanks but it shows the triangle inside the door channel but is too big will not fit inside in rides on the door itself.wondering if these arent correct?

im wondering how the triangle seals to the door myself... any answers

if your referring to the part that goes where the old vent wing was it just attaches with that screw just as the picture shows.

this i know, but how does it actually seal to the door to keep out water

weircc · 01-26-2009, 10:53 PM

thats the problem im having it doesnt fit inside the door it just rides there with an 1/8inch gap all the way around

try switching them end for end, my truck is in progress and I'm going to put those in and see what they look like, I don't recall having that large a gap. I'll take a picture and post it here so you can see how mine look.

ok guys, I actually had them on my truck already...man it's been a while since I've worked on Bookem. Here are 4 pics...the first three are the driver door, 3rd one being from the inside. You can also see the inside of the passenger in the 4th pic. Notice the gap is on the inside and not the outside. I think if you switch your corners you will be happy with the result. A little silicon will water seal it......no bubbles no troubles.

I have the directions if you want me to mail them to you. If I had a scanner I would just post them up for all.

greystoke · 01-27-2009, 07:31 PM

the webrodder article is even better than the actual directions, imo
maybe for some reason I don't have that gap on the outside...not sure why.
