Re: 55-59 Window felt kit?

I agree with rude dude, cheap isn't the best. I bought a low buck kit for my 59. The window felt fit ok, kind of hard to screw that up. But the vent rubber interfered with the vent windows closing. I had to trim it to get it to close, which left an air gap. So much for sealing. sigh
Also, the vertical seal for the vent window didn't seal very well. Next time, I going to buy from Steele rubber. $$$ but it fits! (Use it on my Cads)

if your interested, brothers sells their 1 piece window kit for $389
but they often put it on sale for less than $300
the kit has everything to redo both sides.

when i did my windows it was going to cost a lot more to stay stock
but truk had serious rust issues.
