Vent window seals AGAIN

I think you are quite correct

Maybe we could get everyone willing to buy these to register their interest somewhere, and make a bigger showing of demand

I need an early set too, so hopefully they get them ready some.

I just fired off another email to these guys

Just got my latest reply and apparently the items are still not available.....a little incentive might be needed....

This maybe old news now, BUT......got my vent window rubber from KARR..... fits fine, my 65 needed the "later" style...... aint got a clue how to upload a pix of it here BUT if anybody wants a quality pix of what the KARR product looks like installed, I can email it to you.

Welcome to the site George, nice pickup

Contact info is in the first post, from 2010. I'd suggest you contact them directly for pricing!

Does anyone have a pic of the door window seals and what all the pieces are called. I need to get some for my truck and when I am looking at all the differnt sites, I stuggle in knowing which items are needed and where they would go.
Just wondering if anyone has like an exploded view of what all is required for both windown and vent?

check with steel rubber products, they might have them, everything i used so far was top of the line,

if you look in the restoration specialties cat, towards the beginning there is a generic view with names of pieces - http://restorationspecialties.com/Catalog-PDF.html - maybe this will help - oo3

Repost from another thread

checked it out. Thanks. So Karr is the way to go? The post is confusing to me.

Okay, here's a short version

Karr makes them.
KARR Rubber Manufacturing
133 Lomita St.
El Segundo, CA 90245
Phone: (310) 322-1993 or 1-800-955-5277
They have some unhappy customers, and one or two that are happy. Maybe the quality has improved. The unhappy ones seem to be early and late style, the most recent customer has late style and is happy.


Restoration Specialties still does not have them available, online even though they were hoping to back in 2011. I'd suggest contacting them for an update. The other products they have are said to be good quality.

Pat Walsh lists them and the pop out seals on the site. No feedback on availability or quality.

VENT FRAME SEALS
VENT WINDOW FRAMES REFURBISHMENT KIT

Other restoration seal suppliers that did not have them back in 2010 are
Robert's
Metro
Andy Bernbaum
Steele

I have not checked back with these other companies in the past 2 years. You can find them all on the net and check current listings.

I'm going to repost this on the other thread to bump it up and keep this all in one spot with a title that reflects the question, rather than here with One-Piece Door Glass title.

Man I need these. Anybody got updates?

Finally got someone from KARR on the phone. Will update everyone after I get them and installed.
Pricey buggers and nobody else seems to make them.

I got the ones from KARR. They are not that great to deal with but they came fast. The mold they used is def rough and sloppy but my seals were literally gone and NOBODY carries these so im kinda screwed. I tired everybody and Steele even gave me a list of people to try. $200 later I have them and taking my time installing. Will post pics when I get going.

FYI...just got a set from Karr Rubber for my 67...They suck!!! They make them in 2 pieces and glue them together at the corner...and not well I might add. Sending them back. Owner of Karr was not happy about me sending them back. Hope I get my 225.00 bux back.

The passenger side of mine was pretty bad. Driver side was a lot better.
Bottom line is my van was missing these seals and NOBODY seems to make these but KARR.
I have seals now. Sucked it was $200 but with winter coming I feel better that I have something in place now. Yeah they are a hoot to deal with too!

Thanks for the pictures and the feedback on the parts and the company!
