Factory sliding rear window seal needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

87Scotty · 07-27-2021, 02:08 PM

I have looked high and low for a rubber weather seal to reinstall the factory sliding glass rear window in my '87 Chevy Scottsdale. Does anyone know of a possible source? I believe that the factory part number is 15593315.
Since I can't find one, I wonder how body shops address this issue?

i dont think OEM is available anymore but you can get one through LMC

87Scotty · 07-27-2021, 02:37 PM

Tried LMC. They have one for a fixed glass but not for the sliding glass. Thanks for the reply!

Would a used gasket be of any use, or is it likely too far gone?

I have a sliding window in my truck, but want to convert it to a non-sliding window. One pane is broken out. It's the chunky aluminum type. I don't know if that's the factory window or not.

87Scotty · 07-27-2021, 03:05 PM

Thanks, but I would prefer a new one. If I don't find one this week, I am also going to go with a non-sliding window.

Pontiac1976 · 07-29-2021, 02:27 PM

This may or may not help you. If you can tell what type rear slider you have. As said LMC does sell them for one as this wright up.

Oh:Firefox does seem to show all the pic's

I have read of people reusing their original, and even glass installers preferring to use the original if it's not damaged. So getting a hold of an OEM one might pay off. Also, I haven't checked, but maybe Precision makes one.

65chevysub · 08-24-2021, 09:39 PM

Unfortunately the LMC gasket wont work with factory slider windows. I'm going to either use my solid rear glass gasket, or the original gasket I got from a slider window truck.

I just put in the CR Lawrence solar tinted sliding back glass in my build. Use Precision WCR 1135 for weather-strip and WLS 1135 for lock strip. I called Brothers Truck Parts to make sure I had the correct part numbers before I ordered them and they said it would work.

A tip is to install both chrome corners outside of the truck before you put it on the pinch weld. I've tried the way they said to do it in the video and its a real bear to get it in. Also the ball hook tool works best and if you can get a second person with another tool to help its very easy.

How do you like that window?

brian1115 · 08-27-2021, 09:24 AM

I love it. It looks much better in person that in the pics. I converted the truck to vintage air ac but I always loved the feel of the air through a slider. I will ting the windshield and all the windows to whatever that tint is because its perfect.

Pontiac1976 · 09-04-2021, 01:04 PM

brian1115 do you have any pic's of the rear slider installed and what the seal looks like to the cab window opening area around the slider.

In case anyone is wondering what color my truck is. Its Big Bad Blue from a 69 Javelin. The original was much darker

Pontiac1976 · 09-05-2021, 12:56 PM

This rear Slider looks a lot like one of the factory style standard slider that GM used. This worked with the dual working cab rear window rubber seal for standard glass and the standard slider. But there was two main types slider builds one works and looks a lot like above pic, other one does Not-Work.
*** The other key is the Rubber Seal has to be Custom style to work with the Standard Slider.***

Looks awesome. Do you have the CR Lawrence part number and where did you order it from?

Try brothers truck parts I believe they sell the exact same one. It was them I contacted about which weather seal was the correct one for the truck.

Indeed it is, looks like it's unavailable until December. I will check back, thanks for the info.

I have it also. It's 100x better than OEM. Forget the OEM gasket, buy this window and use a new non-slider gasket

Beecee336 · 03-20-2024, 11:29 AM

I am about to try and restore my original slider. I believe I found a source for felts and seals and stuff for anyone who might be looking to do the same. Rubber the Right Way out of San Diego has a large selection of felts and sweeps. I haven't torn mine apart yet to take any measurements yet but looks like they should have something that will work.
