This is a 2 person job well it is easier with 2 people , again measure everything first and take pics.
I followed the direction in the write up that Allen did for pulling them apart. After getting everything apart and cleaned up ( I did not paint anything, wanted to keep the truck as is ) I out them together different then Allen did.
First I put the flat rubber in first using the rivet and tool that comes in the kitAttachment 976208
now I took out the bottom 2 rivet and pulled the frame up enough to get the other gasket in. I sprayed the back of the gasket with WD40 , you can feel it when it pops into place
Attachment 976209
I used the tool to put the bottom 2 rivet back and used it on the one vent window river.
Attachment 976210
I installed the vent window assembly back into the then I used window weld and put the glass in now i did it this way because when I pulled them apart i left the glass in , after replacing all the rubber with the old glass they worked great until I reinstalled the into the door then they would not close so I pulled the glass out installed them into the door then installed the glass and they work

Where did you buy the tool at? I will be doing vent windows soon.

This is some really nice stuff . The only problems that I had was me not paying attention. Thanks to Rob from taking time out of his busy day to answer my question and help me along. Went for a quick ride and it's a big difference in ride quality.

Here is a thread about NoLimit parts http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=477839
