    are you saying they are putting in ... "the supplied rubber window gasket"? if so where did you get the rear window gasket?

    Bought both front and rear from Melvin's a couple of years ago
    The 4-Door rear weather strip is D1DZ5442084
    The website says they still sell it for $56.10
    The headliner shop has a glass guy who does the R&R, it's included in the price
    Not sure why I said "gasket" rather than "weather strip." Probably a beer-related vocabulary error.

    Slowly painting the jambs while waiting for firewall insulation. Ordered through autokrafters back in October and still isn't here.
    I guess Quiet Ride Solutions just finished moving from California to Arkansas.

    Oh and for anyone wondering, the firewall insulation is a made to order part from Quiet Ride Solutions and has at least a 4 week lead time..... autokrafters won't say that on their website though.

    Simple solution to wiper arm bushings, and it was cheap. I got the parts from McMaster-Carr. Aluminum rod with right and left hand threads, nylon rod ends, 1 long and 2 short shoulder bolts.
    I made a wood fixture to copy the length and angle.
