Repro Vent window Assemblies? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone ordered the repro vent window assemblies? If so, what is your opinion of the quality and fit. I'm enticed by the idea of a new set rather than trying to rebuild the old. Thanks.

The ones made by TRI PLUS are excellent reproductions we use and sell, the COUNTERPART reproductions are poorer fit and quality.

We sell the triplus ones. They look and fit great, however they do not put setting tape in the front lower corners, so they do leak water and air through that area. It is advisable to push some kind of sealer into that area. They have been that way since they were reproduced, and we are working on them to correct this problem, but so far it hasn't been corrected. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Has anyone tried the one piece glass for the entire door? I saw a kit for around $300 dollars for both doors at american classic I think. Thanks Hutch949
