MAN! Weatherstripping is EXPENSIVE!!

[TIMSPEED]

For all new weathestripping for my truck, it's gonna be like $500! That's for all the seals for the glass, and all new vent window assemblies. New Vent Window assemblies are $170 EACH! Makes me wanna get 1-piece glass REAL bad.

$500 is no big deal--at least you can get the parts. IF (big if) someone finally produces a one piece window for our trucks it will come with a premium price and, after that, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get replacement seals or glass.

im going to get one pice glass, atleast thats my goal for my truck...

I don't think $500 is expensive for all-new weather stripping by any means.

I NEVER buy parts for the name brand. In fact, where someone would spend $500+ for a "Borla/Flowmaster/Corsa" Exhaust system for their vette, I made mine for $300 (parts/labor) and I GURAN-DAMN-TEE it performs just as good if not BETTER than those $$$ systems.
I think the only thing I'm griping about is the damn vent windows are $170 a pop...I might try to get a used set in good shape and use them.

Wait till the vette needs new weatherstripping, you'll be crying like a baby

Why do you need new complete vent windows ? Junkyard are full of decent ones for about 15.00 ea and rubbers are 34.00-40.00 for the set ?

I bought this same set fits great: 239.99 with out chrome or add 20.00 for it.

I did what Bill is talking about. I put the vent window assemblies out of an 86 Blazer in my 73, and bought the JC Whitney weatherstrip kit. since I am cheap and it looks better, I used the black trim as well. BTW, the $239 kit has the vent glass rubber, but it is a PITA to install. That's why I went with new vent window assemblies.

Already replaced it all..ALLLL of it came to about $500. (Windshield, Rear Hatch, Roof Sides, Door outside/inside felts) Yeah, I think I'll try to find some decent vent windows to save $300.

Hell go price the weatherstripping for a 73-75 K5. The top alone would be $400 for the two header seals and the seal around the window. I don't thing that inculdes the block seal that ties it all together whetr the door fram, top and windsheild header meet. I thing thats another $50 a side for that peice. Add another $300 for the rail seals and rear window seals and then you can start thinking about the door seals and window felts. You can drop a easy $1k on a K5 if you do all the seals.
