Has anybody removed the sliding side windows on a 60-66 Burb and installed 1 piece glass? I will retain the original pillar .My reasoning is, plenty of bolters are looking for the handles since they are rare as "hens teeth" and you can't keep the water from rotting the bottom of the panel out.Any help would be appreciated.

Many or most Suburbans came with one piece (I think in the rear set), as you know, so you just buy the one piece rubber and go to glass shop for glass. Take out the frame on the slider and put one piece in. Is that your question? Don't know what you mean by retain the pillar.

bartamos,
What I ment by the pillar is the roof support between the 2 sliding windows.Your suggestion sounds right on line with what I have in mind.Thanks

I am interested in some further discussion regarding the windows.
My burb has sliders for all four windows. I have latches that won't catch because the window glass is a little long or the tracks are not square/smooth enough for the glass to seal at the rear of the window.

Does anyone know of a sources for detailed drawings with dimensions for the windows, tracks, etc. so that I can check what is wrong and get some new items, or make them up out of existing items.

OR
does anyone know a source for the proper rubbers and sweepers for the sliding windows, or a cross section of the molding, including the part that should go over the center of the window bar where the slider latches.

I realize it may be a long shot, but gotta hope somebody has done some of this.
Thanks.
Bert.
