Does it matter what window you put in first, Vent or door?

yes, you have to put the vent window in first. the front track for the door window is the back part of the vent seal.

Yes, vent window in and secured first,then divider strip, then channel across the top and down the back edge, then the fuzzies at the bottom edge of door glass, then big window. Then I broke my big windows and now they're on back-order.

Arrowhead, thanks for the offer, but I have a 53. Are you about done with your truck? I put on both radiator hoses and the serpentine belt this evening(5.0 SBF and non-stock radiator). If it gets done before August that's Ok with me.

I installed new glass & runners almost two months ago. I put the division bar in first but didn't install the screws, then I put the vent in followed by the door glass and slid it all the way up lastly I put the door mechnism back in then ligned everything up and tightened.

I've seen window rebuilding instructions, with pictures, in the Dennis Carpenter catalog.

Moe, I suspect Fred still has the window glass. It won't work on my 53. I bought carpet from Fred and it arrived as described(besides, he made m an offer I couldn't refuse). Why don't you PM him about it?
