questions about replacing window seals
I have the seals for both vent windows, both roll up windows, and cab weather strips. my vent windows move about 1/4 inch at the bottom hinge, does anyone know how to fix this, just trying to do my homework before I tear into the ol' girl.
also, any tips before doing this? I realy dont want to tear anything up that I cant fix but only replace.

I can't say anything about your wing windows as for replacing the seals. I'm waitng to do that as well. You might have to replace them, my wing windows dont have any play in them as you describe. As for the other seals, it pretty easy. Thay just pull right out and it's not hard to see how the new ones go back in. I did both doors in 2 days (after work).

the wing windowframe itself is bad, or the door frame.. I have several wing windows I think. The wing window comes out but it includes the front part of the main window track..pm me if you need wing windows..

Thanks, that'll take a lot of guess work out of getting them out, I might even buy an extra set of side windows and vent windows while I'm taking it all apart. lol wouldnt hurt to have them as spares. lol
