Re: Working Man's Burbon
More window information. To remove the divider you must turn it 90* (photo) then lift it out. I made sure that it was on the outside of the glass to keep from damaging the window tint. The window channels that are readily available for the dividers between the fixed or the wing windows and the roll up windows is not factory correct, but seem to work ok. To install it you must scrape all of the old felt out of the channel (mine were so rotten it took less than five minutes) then the new felt piece folds into the channel. I am considering glueing my in just to be sure that it doesn't start to move. If you wanted a factory correct felt channel you can get the channel in longer lengths and cut it to size. (Restoration Supply or others) You will have to drill of the rivets that attach the lower mounting bracket and the painted trim channel (?) out, and then instal new rivets like you would when replacing the wing window rubber seal. See photos

Re: Working Man's Burbon
If you do decide to use the factory style felt channel you will have to cut the channel in such a way that you leave tab that can be bent in the correct direction and then drill a hole for the screw. The passenger side screw hole has to be sized so the screw will self tap. In addition the same end of the channel has to be pinched smaller so it fits in the upper part of the frame. So if your chrome beads on the dividers are wasted you can replace them with new one. Mine were usable and my tabs were in good shape so I didn't need replace them.

Re: Working Man's Burbon
Interesting I will have to look into this further. This is the product that came in the window kit I installed in the front doors. I am familiar with it as it is also used in my S10 doors. Do the felts you are talking about have the chrome beads too? Thanks.

Re: Working Man's Burbon
UPDATE: I have contacted by Prescion Rubber and they are working on new fixed quarter window seals. They have received the correct measurements from one of the members here and will send me a sample when they are ready. Can't wait! Thanks Rod. More to follow.

Re: Working Man's Burbon
The previous owner removed all the bump stops from the suspension. The rear was the easier of the pair, so I started there. I ordered the energy suspension black units 9-9109G for the rear. The factory bump stop is a pull through mount and the new ones are a bolt on style. I took a 3" x3" concrete bearing plate (from Depot) and cut 3/8" off of one edge and set it in the factory mount and bolted it down. Then lowered the burb and compared the measurements I made before I bolted the stops in. The drivers side was 1/2" higher and the other side was 1/4" higher. Not enough to to see but it will make me feel better.

Re: Working Man's Burbon
Boy I am so hoping they are going to be ready soon. Right now I only have one reusable seal. I could drive without one as long as it stays dry but the rains are coming. That being said I still have a lot of moves to make before the WMB is drivable. Like everyone says "Timing is everything". They got the jams and insides of the doors shot today but in my excitement I forgot to get pictures. DDOH!

Re: Working Man's Burbon
We dropped the 51 off to get the fender repainted (garage boo boo). And got there just as the painter was leaving and ....YIKES! I just wish the photo would show the color properly. Well it's not easy being green.
