    I'm at the point of putting the windows back in my van. I'm interested in what other vanners have used and what they thought of them. The last time I ordered parts from Mac's, they just sent me repackaged Dennis Carpenter parts and marked them up.

    Thanks

    Thanks for posting your door glass tutorial Marq. I'm procrastinating doing the door glass because I'm sure it will be a headache.

    I did order window gaskets from Dennis Carpenter and they arrived yesterday. They look good and the label says "Made in USA", so we'll see how they work out.

    The vent window seals tend to be the most problematic ones. Last I heard Tim, member EconoUSAparts, was trying to have some manufactured that fit better and he was finally successful. I would contact Tim. I bought glass runs from him and was happy with the fit. I've also heard his door seals are better.
