Drivers door raddles around when half way - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pinnedcr250f · 03-16-2009, 03:28 PM

I just got my 71 C10 last week and I was hoping that you guys could help me with the problem that I am having. My drivers window is very loose and raddles around when it is not rolled up. It moves side to side (from inside to outside the truck) and bounces up and down when I am rolling up the window. Also where would be a good place to order the parts to fix this?

Thank you all for your help!

I bought a window seal kit from LMC to fix mine, it was doing more or less the same thing. It really tightened it up quite a bit! Only problem is now when I roll it down, it is so tight that sometimes I have to wait a split second for the window to catch up

The seal contained a rubber strip for the side that goes all the way up the side and on top, and also had the straight strip that goes in where the vent window is.

Also, check with the board vendors to see if they have a kit for sale, you can easily send any of them a PM (vendors are at the bottom of the page):

EDIT: These are actually called Window Channel kits if you end up searching for them somewhere. Brothers, one of the board vendors, has this kit (which may be more than you actually need...still, everything would be new

) :

That is a very good idea....I wish I had thought of that when I put mine in. It wasn't a horrible job, but certainly would have made it a great deal easier.
