I just heard from the guy who is working on my replacement set of barn doors. When he finishes the body work (soon I hope) I want to move the glass in the back of my existing doors into these new doors. I'm sure the glass will survive, but I'm not too sure about the rubber.

Does anyone know where I can get new rubber seals for these windows?

Hey Steve, I'm on the road again and don't have my catalog with me, but I remember it being available through Chevy Duty for both the barn door style and clamb shell doors. I also wanted to mention, I saw your photo in your profile and have met you somewhere in my travels. Good Luck on the Suburban.

Car/Truck show? Or something business related? I forget why you travel...

At one time my job had me in a different state nearly every week, but the last few years I've only been outside Washington and Oregon a couple times a year.

I had checked their online catalog and must have missed it... I'll get that ordered and be a little closer!

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it was business or pleasure. I'm thinking car related, that's about all I do anymore. I travel to General Motors Dealships as well as bodyshops and independent repair shops. I'm a General Motors wholesale parts accounts representative. A professional BSer or high paid lunch and dinner man.

In '97 or '98 I visited a bunch of body shops in Seattle and Portland installing a digital camera setup for sending estimates to insurance companies.

Otherwise most likely it was a car show. I don't think my picture is on any post office walls...

In my copious notes of lessons learned from past forum discussions, I had noted that Steele Rubber makes the best fitting, highest quality FRONT windshield seals. I plan to get my rears from them as well.

I 2nd BradB's recommendation - I've found Steele to have top quality pieces, and they'll work with ya to do stuff they don't stock - I sent them the decent OEM rubber off a pair of NOS TF panel doors I got and they repro'd it exactly and perfectly [if you TF guys need the back door rubber, they have it even if it's not listed - inquire!] - they also have the rubber for the clamshell doors and glass I think

Steele makes all of that rubber you get from many suppliers who list it as "made in USA"

Thanks for the help guys! I found Steele's web site and will decide to order from them or ChevyDuty and let you know how it turns out.

Here\'s the link...

Just to make it easier to watch.

A few months ago I found a guy that had a pair of those in a junkyard and he quoted me some ungodly figure. $150.00 each I think. I discovered that I could buy them both new repop, and tempered glass with a tint no less for under $100.00.

Has anyone found a supplier for the one piece rear glass for a Suburban with clambshell doors?
