My buddy ordered the LMC vent windows a few years ago. He installed them and hated them They did not close right, They leaked air while driving and water when it rained. He sent his originals to Precision to get rebuilt.

When I was restoring my 1958 VW bus I rebuilt the vent windows and they were a pain to put back together, hardware wise that was easy it was getting the rubber seal that were a bi*$%. They would not stay in the channel even after "warming" them up to make them more pliable. In the end they did come out good, no leaks and no wind whistling. I don't feel I can go through the hassle of rebuilding another set again.

I was thinking of doing the vents on my 74 but then remembered the frustration I went through rebuilding the 58's windows....Glad some one posted Precision link, when the time comes that's where I'll be sending mine to get done!
