I am ready to purchase all new rubber for my 51 jimmy, such as door seals, window channel/ vent rubber/ windshield rubber. Any body have personal experience on this subject & suggestions on where to buy?
Thanks

:hiya: I liked dealing with Classic Parts (www.classicparts.com )or there's Golden State Parts (www.goldenstateparts.com ).Both have very good selection ,and competative prices .The rubber in mine ,I think came from Classic Parts.

I spent a lot of time pondering this same topic, and the final decision was that Steel Rubber has by far the BEST product, Use the best the first time and forget the rest!!

I got my window seals from Chevy Duty. I bought my door seals from SoffSeal. They already come with the adhesive attached. Very nice kit!!!

thanks guys, I stoped by a local store (BowTie Bits) & bought most of the minor rubber stuff today, & am ordering the door seals from Steele Rubber.
Thanks again for the input
