Great video- very informative
Thank you!
This was super helpful, thank you!
You’re welcome!
Absolutely the best and most through video of vent window rebuilding I’ve seen ! Plus the only one I saw showing the retaining clips on back of the longest part of the weatherstripping. Thanks
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching.
I kept waiting for you to sit and work more comfortably and effectively.
Maybe next time. I just work and move.😀
Is there a downside to Setting Tape instead of the moleskin? Working on an old GTO’s vent glass and frame. Thanks. Good idea powder coating instead of chrome. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Not that I know of. It’s a little more work to install, but minimally.
Glad I stumbled on this I just redid the ones in my 67 gto. The weatherstrip with the clips on the new molding did not have the steel in it. So that will need to be glued in? Any other tips? I have mine back together but it has some areas that need addressing. Great video!
I have yet to find those little clips available anywhere. I’ve even looked into having them made, but the cost of tooling just makes it unwise. So. Yes you will likely need to glue the pieces in. Get it done and start enjoying it!
@@AllisonCustoms I ran into another problem. The weatherstrip on the outside at the bottom/front is not sealing the window like it should. There’s actually a gap between the rubber and the window. Not sure if these seals are just a cheap repop of if I can do some adjusting or trimming-to make them fit right, I don’t think I can as one end has a pocket the vertical weatherstrip sits in at the bottom.The handle seems to be good and tight, I figure if it was loose or sloppy that would account for what I’m seeing as those handles do wear out. Any thoughts? Thanks for the response.
Nice job Jeff. I will be putting my 67 vent windows back together in a couple weeks when the frames get back from the chrome shop. The vent window weatherstrip you used has the molded in metal backing strip that the clips attach to. Not all manufacturers of the weatherstrip have the metal strip and its required to glue them in. I was wondering who the manufacturer that you used for the weatherstrip? And, did the weatherstrip do a good job sealing the window....one of the weatherstrips I used leaves a hole at the tip of the window that howls when driving and leaks water.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I wish i could remember for absolute sure which brand of weatherstrip I used. I am 90% sure it was Precision Products, because this is what I almost always use.

If not though I do also use Steele Rubber Products.

Unfortunately I just don't remember.
Both companies make good rubber parts and I use them often. Hopefully a call to one or both will get you the answer you need on the if the metal strip is included in the rubber or not.
Yes the seal is very good, like all vent windows there is a little noise but its probably better than when the car was new.
As for the corner, I had no problem getting the rubber to seat all the way up in there.
Good luck on your install.
Jeff
One more, I mentioned your question to one of the guys that helped with the final assembly of the car and he said he thought a bunch of the parts were Soffseal. I know we used some of that when we couldn't get other parts, so there is a chance.

I Cerakoted my frames. I'm not a big fan of powder coating because eventually it will fail and delaminate in about 10 years. With that being said, it is my first time rebuilding my vent windows as well as cerakoting stuff but from everything I have read or seen, it has some of the best anti salt protection than any coatings out there. But if you have a show car that stays in a garage, you probably won't have any problems with it. I live on the east coast and my truck will be outdoors everyday.
I have never tried Cerakote myself, I have read a bit about it and watched a few YT videos of how to do it, but I wasn't real sure about the durability of the home applied stuff. We used to use Aircraft paint on the frames, but even that had issues with cracking over time and then when you wanted it off it was a #?%&! to remove. Powder coating, when done well, has in my experience been very durable - that said, I don't live in an area where we use salt on the roads very often and most of my customers that do, park their cars for the winter.
Please forward some pics that show what your frame looks like. I'm game to try other methods and materials, especially if they provide a better finished product.
How did you put the vent glass in the frame. That part was omitted from the video
Use a small amount of oil on the seal/tape (the oil makes it slide easily initially and makes it swell later) slide it and the glass into the frame and trim back the seal with a razor blade. Over the next hour or so the seal will swell up from the oil and lock it into place.
Was that a matte black powder coat? it looks sharp
Thanks! Yes, I had all of the parts powder coated. You do have to have the chrome removed before powder coating.
Those damned clips... nobody has them for sale and none of mine will spread without breaking. Someone needs to reproduce these.
I'm with you on that. I've got another set of windows to do and can only hope the clips are reusable. You might try finding some spring steel and making something similar.
Allison Customs' - PROJECT CAR TV My only option is to glue them in with 3M weatherstrip adhesive, which I’m not comfortable with.
It will work, just make sure to get the black glue not Yellow, the yellow hardens up and well its yellow. I think there are 2 different strengths of the black, I have used both with success. Use plenty of masking tape to hold the seal where you need it, it should work just find.
@@AllisonCustoms great job!!!
i am gonna start mine now..
