So i became a victim of aging on my truck, i changes both doors and right hand side fender. now i took apart my doors to get all the stuff on the "new" ones and all the damn weather strips fell apart, they cracked basically, found out my window motors are old and out of shape, also the some rollers on the regulator dont spin anymore.

Wheres is a good part to buy the weatherstrips and can you get thoose rollers for the window regulator.??

Looks like ill be taking the doors apart once again.

I have gotten most of the "stock" replacement parts from LMC. I like that they have exploded views of everything so you can buy every part you need. They are kinda pricey, but I have ordered alot of stuff from them and have never had a problem.

Some of the best I have used. Very pricy though. Like 120.00 for the pair of wing window seals but they install easy and work. Much higher quality than any of the others I have tried.

I like dealing with Classic Industires the most. Better than LMC and WAY better than Brother's.

I got my window weather stripping from www.americanclassic.com. Shipping was quick and the prices were great.

They have regulators too: For about $36.00 but the NOS is significantly more expensive...

Ive had bad experience with brothers, id bought 2 times from LMC and it was good.

Thanks.
