I rebuilt mine using the kits from the Truck Shop. You have to drill out some rivets (to break it down) to put in the new rubber and I then pop riveted it back together. I did this on both doors of my '66 Burb that I am now trying to finish.

Thanks sandfreek, it's PPG 1969 Chevy Hugger Orange. I think the code is 2004 or 2084 I can't remember for sure. It's somewhere in my build.

Not to jack the thread but has anyone found the way to repair the pin the handle attaches to? Alan's Classic thread is memorized in my little brain.

I'm glad something good comes from my mistakes. At least all I have to do is change out the window frame.
