Vent window seal
I'm replacing the vent window in my 70 C10 but can't find the seal material that goes in the window frame. This is not rubber it's a kind of cloth material. Does anyone know where to find it.

Re: Vent window seal
It's the Division Bar Channel. Most vendors have them. They don't cost much and are easy to install

Re: Vent window seal
I'm looking for the material tha holds the glass in the channel. LMC sells a rubber gasket but this stuff is a cloth type of material.

Re: Vent window seal
^x2 You can also go to glass installer and they usually have it. The last time the guy just gave me a bunch said they don't use that much anymore.

Re: Vent window seal
It's called glass setting tape. I can't find my order details at the moment but I bought a 20' roll on eBay for like $16. You only need like 8 feet for both vents and windows, but the one local place that had it near me wanted a couple dollars a foot. It's kind rubbery. You form it along the glass then push it into the frame. It was a super tight fit so I used some winded to line it a bit. Then once it's in, it's wider than you need, so you just trim off the excess. The trickiest part I found was the corner of the vent glass.

What would be considered the correct thickness to use for 67-72 vent window installs?

I would Measure the frame I.D. of the vent wing I was installing then measure the vent window thickness and go from there. Formula = Inside thickness of frame -minus-thickness of glass- divided by Two equals room for gasket |
