New after market vent window assembly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I starter playing around with my new vent Windows assemblies tonight. They drop in the door as they should. I need to get a plastic runner to move the weather strip out of the way a bit, but all of the holes line up as they should. I took a few pictures tonight to give y'all some hope

One thing the OEM book shows is that the assembly seems to slide in as one unit. Has anyone had the experience one this to give some pointers?

who made them?where did you buy# are they tinted ?? LOOK NICE !!!! how about an outside picture ?? thanks mike

jbgroby · 05-19-2016, 08:42 PM

I bought the clear, but they offer tinted. I got mine off eBay, through LMC. $229.00 plus shipping you outside you mean in daylight? I have an outside door picture posted.

THEY SURE LOOK GOOD !!! i just bought some used ones /its hard finding some nice ones! might just have to buy a set of new ones !! thanks for the reply

jbgroby · 05-19-2016, 10:29 PM

I'm going to post more pictures, I have to locate and or buy new screws to set everything.

Ok I found the first very minor glitch. One assembly came pre-drilled on the brackets and one did not. I can drill easy, but just wonder why they skipped that? Both window assemblies match up. The proper screw size for the lower brace is shown. I picked up all the stainless steel screws at lowes.. One window glode is shorter than the other as well. Of this is a problem, I'll contact LMC who sold them via eBay.

They sure look great on the truck.

jbgroby · 05-21-2016, 05:08 PM

I'm going to contact LMC to let them know that the second one that I ordered does not line up correctly. I'll ask for a simple exchange. I'll let everyone know how that came out. I can't see them lettbg these parts hit the market, they probably don't know there may be a problem with the factory assembly. I took a picture of the first, the second and an OEM. You can see the difference. The extra length in the window groove mut be needed as the OEM had it as well as the first one I ordered.

drastic difference hope lmc will resolve it soon. is the division bar stainless or chrome plated steel??. thanks

jbgroby · 05-21-2016, 09:54 PM

I believe it is played, but will check. LMC has been a good company i'd be surprised if they fight me on this. The hole ain't the worry , the second assembly is also off in regards to hight on the glass section

I just did a r & r on my vent windows. I didn't remove the door glass, I just rolled it all the way down. I put the door glass in first and then it's just the four sheet metal screws on the edge and the two 1/4-20 screws down at the bottom to get the vents windows installed. Seems like putting glass and vents in at the same time would complicate things.

I agree. BTW, I check my invoices for the windows and they came from the Truck and Car shop, NOT LMC.
