Blazer top Sliding Side windows

[Blazerowner]

I have a lead on some 72 blazer sliding windows for the top and a rear hatch. The guy wants $600 for both. Is this a deal I should go for or pass? The hatch is clean and the sliders are nice. I know they are rare but I also don't want to pay too much. Also is the rubber gasket the same as a solid window?

Considering the hatch is worth at least half of that figure, and sliders are damn near impossible to find, I would buy them. I have been looking for some sliders for several years, so I wouldn't hesitate. If you are willing to wait it out, for a smoking deal to come along, it may be a long wait. Just depends on how bad you want some!

I'm probably going to get them than. I just never see them other than pictures and really like them. I will probably sell the hatch to get a little money back. I have an extra set of sliders besides the ones on my Blazer. This set will make 3 after I get this hatch. I probably will list a set after I purchase these. If you want I can put you first in line.

Wait, you'll have 3 sets of sliders? Lucky! Anyways by an off chance you sell and and the others in line pass, I'd like to put my name on the list please.

Lets not turn this into a FS thread. Thanks

Yes I now have three sliders. I always like to have two of the hard to find parts so I will only be selling one set. The hatch is in great shape so I am probably going to keep it. There's not one crack. As far as the hatch sliders I will be pulling them off in a few days and will post an add in the for sale section. The sliding windows are in pretty good shape other than the felt that they slide on being roached. I plan on taking them to a glass shop or perhaps trying to restore them myself. The frames are in perfect shape and just need a little polishing. I think they were a good find and I have been looking for a while.

Ive got sliders from a double wall top and want to install them into a single wall top. Can i use a regular rubber seal for a single wall window? or is it a special seal?

i have a double wall top and am using the same seal that i used with the original glass with my sliders. You should check with cleszkie, a member on this site. i am pretty sure he has the same setup you are talking about.

I got my sliders out of a double wall top and put them into a single wall top. The sliders installed perfectly with the single wall specific side glass weather stripping. No modifications required to the top. I imagine that if the sliders are installed into a double wall top then the double wall top specific weather stripping would work.

I know where another set is but I just never have time to stop and ask the guy about them. The blazer has been sitting there for years. The house is behind a fence so getting in there to say something is tricky. I will have to stop one of these days.
