Send em off to precision. You'll save yourself a lot of headache.

Sent a set off to Precision too. Had them back in a week after they received them. Can't say enough good things about how they look, they were awesome. I have another set I will be sending to them to have done, as soon as they are out of the truck.
I would post a pic, but they are off with the windows getting tinted at the moment.

What was the cost?

[TKCR]

Mine was $110 for the set. But I had already bought the reseal kit from Precision, months prior, thinking I was going to do it myself. I also did not replace the latch, mine was in good condition. So basically, the $110 was for the labor.

Here's the fellow you need to talk to at Precision:

So how bad of a job is it to replace the vent window assembly? My experience with working inside doors tells me its like giving a cat a bath in rubbing alcohol.

Replacing the vent window assembly in the door, isn't so bad. Just watch a few videos and take your time. It's the rebuilding/restoring of the vent windows themselves, that's a pain. There's a few steps in the process that is very difficult. Leave it to the professionals, it will save you the frustration and a few busted knuckles.

X2. I watched the videos a few times to mimic the angles. Use blue tape on the painted surfaces on both sides and leave it on until you've got it attached.

Thanks for the info. I talked with Derek of Precision Replacement Parts, and he hooked me up. I will be sending them to Greg Stroik for a complete restoration. FYI- Precision Parts is a vendor here- LINK

That's the guy that did mine (he may be the only guy). He did a great job!

Do they seal well after coming back from Precision Replacement Parts?

My biggest grip about my pickup is the vent windows leak bad! The painter put new seals in but didn't do it right I'm sure.

[UKNOWME]

I have no complaints

[Zach079xxx]

I need window seals for both the driver side and passenger. Whats included in the work precision does? The actual lock on my vent window is very tight and will not lock fully. I need vent window and the entire seal in general. It's dried and cracked awful and makes sticking your arm out the window on summer days a pain.

Finally spent some time putting the new vent window in, well the right side so far, wasn't to bad. I put new door latches in too, that probably took most of my time, trying to get the doors aligned.

Sorry for the pics being sideways, don't know why that happened.
