1960 weatherstripping clarification needed

[Leinhit]

I need a complete weather stripping kit for my 1960 apache.

But websites such as CJ pony parts list three different kits and I don't know which one I need.

My glass was totally missing/broken. But I have been able to ascertain there was a metal frame going around the outside of the side glass. I assume this is what they mean by metal trimmed or not trimmed glass.

But what is the option with or without the trim groove? Does it matter which one I order?

I'm replacing all glass so I need all the weather stripping, felt, and any other rubber seals needed.

Can anyone recommend a kit along with a website link or part number?

So far CJ pony parts is the only one that seems to have an entire kit and it's nearly $300. Pretty expensive to goof it up. Or does anyone have an alternative?
Thank you

Also do I remove this ridged metal strip inside the window channel does the new stuff come with it already?

I believe the "trim groove" is if your windshield rubber has chrome in it or not.

STRETCH the windshield rubber before installing it - lots of stretch helps make it around the bottom corners better.

The corrugated metal bit is tossed; they are part of the new seals.

I used all Precision rubber on my '61. I'm not super happy with the results, but I don't think any other brand is going to be much better. I made a note to myself that Steele Rubber brand does a better job of door/glass rubber, but Precision does better windshield rubber. I only used Precision.

I had the doors sitting and latching beautifully before I installed the door seals. I've argued with the door adjustment and latching ever since, and it's sort of mostly good now (two years later).

I got my seals from Bill's Truck Shop here in Canada - it was the brand they sold.

Here's a photo before I took the windshield out I don't see any Chrome in the weather stripping unless you or someone else has a different opinion?

I appreciate your reply.

I assume the Chrome and the weather stripping is just an aesthetic and doesn't really matter? If given the choice what would most people want, Chrome or no chrome?

[SkinnyG]

Installing the chrome strip is another level of difficulty. I was pleased that my base-model truck had no chrome.

It really comes down to whether you personally want chrome or not.

Windshield

Back Glass

Door Glass

Thank you for all the replies and the videos to watch.

Order has been placed. Boy they get a lot of money for strips of rubber.

We'll see how the installation goes...

When I was trying to get my window installed with the chrome a couple of installers would not even do it. They said if I didn't have the wrap around window they would do it.

[Leinhit]

I ordered it without.... Iit will be looking too good for people to notice if there's Chrome there or not...
