I kept thinking I did something wrong until I put the other vent window in that I hadn't rebuilt yet and it fits pretty tight.
I started looking at the new rubber and it's much thinner than the original rubber. I know some aftermarket stuff isn't great but this is horrible. I thought about buying new rubber from Steele rubber but I'm worried I will have the same issue and it's not cheap.
Anyone have the same issues?
Bit of a delayed reply, but I have been on quite a journey replacing the vent window rubber in my 87' K5 Blazer. This thread was VERY helpful. I also had quality issues with LMC and 1A Auto. I finally ordered from Steele and found the quality to be far superior. In this case, I got what I paid for. The fit-n-finish was awesome and I could easily tell which one was from Steele just by the look and feel of the rubber.
