Has anyone out here used this kit for a 55 to 59 chevy? Just curious how well it went in or if there is another manufacturer that is better? THanks.

As Martin said we always need the vendor and part number. The kits will be pretty much the same. It's never the kit that is the problem. That chore is a bit challenging in parts; but study, searching videos and planning always makes a job go better. I've done 55-59. Just explain everything you want to do. A few pics can refresh our memories, see your condition and helps with using mutual nomenclature. "Division bar", "run channel", "vent rubber", "felt", "whiskers" and etc.
Also see tech tips section here on Stovebolt for similar install writeups.

You are probably saying "Classic Parts of America". A good vendor for our stuff.

This may help.

Classic Chevy is the vendor and the sku is 61-886785-1. And the name of the kit is 1955L-1959 Chevy Truck Door Window Channel Kit with Clips. Thanks for the info above. I will take a look at the tech tips as well.
