Re: those who restore vent windows what brand weatherstripping do you use?

This is the company I see the best talk about when I have looked at weather stripping

http://www.soffseal.com/store/main.a...tail&item=9934

I used LMC on mine only because a neighbor was moving and gave me a box with all new seals since he scrapped his project.

I don't like them, finally after the truck sitting for 6 months did they break in.

when I do my vents I will try soffseal, not sure if the link I posted is correct, I would just call them.

I used the vent window gaskets from Steele Rubber.

Re: those who restore vent windows what brand weatherstripping do you use?

I have rebuilt several of these and have used Precision brand. Kit number VWK 1110 67 vent weather strip kit. I also order kit number WFK 1111 67 C which is the Precision Deluxe Beltline Weather Strip Kit which includes the division bar felts, sweeps, and window channel seals. These products are top notch. I have not used any other brand so I can not compare.
