Quality of vent windows? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thinking about buying a set of reproduction vent window assembly. How is the quality? Do you recomend them?, or is it cheaper to re-chrome re-glass and re-weather strip mine? Let me know what you think.

Your blazer looks really nice. If you have them on yours then they must look and fit good. Looks like ill be ordering a set soon.
Thank you for the reply.

I have a set I just recentky got from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. They are better than oem in my opinion. No, redoing/rechroming your old ones will not be cheaper. If you are in central Ca. you could come see mine.

I got a set from classic industries and they are as good if not better than oem. I would not try rebuilding stock ones, way too much work and not really sure it would be cost effective.

The fit isn't perfect but I'm happy with them all in all.
