The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Rear Window Glass Stainless Push Pieces

Hi All,

I didn't manage to get the body off this weekend, but ended up working on getting all of the glass out of the truck in tact. I managed to get all pieces out and they look in pretty good shape. I tried taking the seal out of the stainless piece that has the thumb push on it, and then realized, 'can I get a replacement piece for this'? (It's the piece that slides into the stainless channel and rubs against the fixed side of the glass) Also, it was a total pain to get out and I had to bend the side out pretty good. Any help in how I should attach this would be appreciated.

My 1954 Chevrolet Suburban has different styles of window pulls and vertical stainless steel bars (the bars with the whiskers are on the stationary glass on 1954 Chevrolet Suburbans).

However, it might help you to know that Restoration Specialties & Supply, Inc. had whiskers that I was able to adapt to my vertical bars.

They are an excellent company and very helpful over the phone. They helped me match-up an adaptation of one of their whiskers.

Their catalog has to be downloaded. If you make an order, ask for a copy of their catalog. It is an excellent resource for odd parts. All of its drawings are full-scale (making comparison easy).

The YM3 is what I picked up, I had them cut it in 4 pieces:

Thanks guys. I'll put in my order tomorrow. Did you notice how tough it was to get those pieces out of the channel. Dang! My are really rusted in there

It took me an average of 4 hours of careful and tedious work per channel to completely remove the old whisker strips.

Hey Guys, this restoration and supply company has everything! Do you guys have a shopping list from them to get everything to redo the windows? I know people aren't so happy on these other kits from Carter, etc. I'd just like to order it all from Restoration specialties
