help with door, window weatherstripping

ok so i have a 1974 f100 and when i bought it the previous owner busted the drivers side door window out of it. i ordered a new window and it arrived today. i saw i had to take the vent window out to do it. is that just those three screws on the inside of the door? and also those bolts near the bottom of the door? my other question was that i had started to pull the vent window out and for some reason i started pulling the vent window rubber out(its pretty messed up anyways). is there a weatherstripping kit i can buy to replace the door rubber and the window rubber? also is this all i need to do to install the door glass? i tried putting the rubber back into the vent window tracks and it wouldnt seat right so do i need a special tool or is just because the rubber is old is the reason its struggling going in. thanks

I bought the kit shown in those videos from Bronco Graveyard. I just said the heck with it and bought the full kit, better value for money.

The kit and those videos, I found on these forums.

The only thing you may not have is a rivet gun for the wing windows.

Not sure on rock auto but when I shopped them all BGY was the best value. I think I paid $250 shipped for the kit with no windshield chrome. The quality of the seals feels excellent. Not sure of the COO but I'm happy with the seals. Precision brand kit.

I purchased a full kit from (I think, it's been several years) NPD. Most of the pieces were in Precision bags. I just installed it in December. All pieces fit right and made a world of difference in the wind noise and window rattling. Not sure why you can't get the vent window rubber in, I didn't need any special tool, but 40+ year old rubber might be a different story.

Question weatherstrip kit choices

I was going to suggest youtube and the precision videos somebody also suggested. Great how to videos for our trucks. My truck is a neglected mess and I need all rubber so I will buy a kit. Just curious what you all think about differences in companies like Mac, NPD, Dennis Carpenter, Broncograveyard ( I think they use Precision). LMC, etc etc. I'm about done price comparing individual pieces, kits, prices between companies. They all pretty close in price give or take a few $. Then shipping costs etc. I thought I read one of the company's used Carpenter. Others thought it was poor quality etc. So anyone unhappy with a particular company, or happy with another????

Yes with the door removed it was easy, do you have a stubby or a 1/4" ratchet with a bit holder or a ratchet screwdriver.

Sears Sears.com

Walmart : https://www.walmart.com/ip/Neiko-030...&wl13=&veh=sem

I vote for Jeffs Bronco Graveyard, who knows who made them or where they got them, but they fit great. https://shop.broncograveyard.com/Wea.../products/539/
