I recently inherited my Dad's '59 Chevy truck that he bought in 1974. He stripped it almost to the frame in 2011 and was rebuilding it for the second time when he got sick. He got it mostly bolted back together with the help of friends before he died. That still leaves a lot of work for me to do. One of the issues I have to deal with is the vent windows. They will not close. A local glass company cut the glass and Dad said they cut them wrong. I took one window apart and I don't see how the glass company could have warped the frame without breaking the glass or destroying the frame. I believe something is wrong with weatherstripping. It appears to be too thick. He bought the weatherstripping from Tuckers in 2013 and the part number on the receipt (yes he kept all the receipts) is correct for the application. I have read complaints of reproduction replacement vent windows not fitting. Has anyone had any experience with the weatherstripping not fitting correctly? Any close-up pictures of a closed vent window would be appreciated.
thanks
