Outer window seals
I just replaced the outer window seals on my 77. PITA!!!! The replacement ones were rubber about a 1/4" wide. The original were felt. Now the glass is very hard to go down & somewhat hard to go up. Has anyone experienced this and what were your results? Did I get the correct parts? Will they get better with time?
Thanks!!!

Re: Outer window seals (DP77Vette)
I just recently posted this exact topic and was informed that there are original style and there are rubber ones. I removed the rubber one that was hindering window adjustment and bought new ones from Corvette Central and they seem to fit right. Good Luck, Craig
Anybody want a good deal on rubber window seals?

:iagree:
The Corvette Central outer door seals are claimed to be built to exact factory specs. I replaced mine about a month ago and they fit perfectly. Smooth operating.

Re: Outer window seals (kenko74)
Wow, how timely is this post. I just looked at mine today while I was at the painters and thought I need to get new ones. So, now that I know, I will do my best to avoid the rubber ones. Thanks for the heads up on this one.

Re: Outer window seals (DP77Vette)
You looked at the wrong part number.
283061 (69-82 Coupe), or 283062 (69-75 Convertible) $59.95 a pair. They're steel, rubber, and felt per the originals. :seeya

Re: Outer window seals (12stepvette)
Good post. Ordered weatherstriping yesterday and was thinking about those seals. Glad I waited. What about the inner ones. Any problems there? :chevy
