Anyone replaced their window glass seals?

[thedeliverator]

I'm replacing the glass in the drivers door of my M1009, and once I saw how bad the rubber window seal was, I decided to get that out too.

Right now I'm looking at my LMC Truck catalog, and they list two different kinds of door glass run - a one-piece that goes from the bottom of the rear all the way around (think of a big C) listed for the 81-91 years; and a two-piece kit that has separate bits for the top/rear and front (think of an L and an I), listed for the 73-80 years.

Now, just by the years listed I should get the one-piece, but when I was looking just now, it seems I have two separate pieces.

Has anyone replaced the seals in their doors? Do I go by looks or by listed application? Would the 'wrong' seal still fit?

Go by the application. From what I recall of removing mine for paint... they are 'supposed' to be 1 piece.

two pieces, one big one that goes all the way around and a little top one,

god I did the front windshield and rear side windows and windwings too (re-installing thata little rivit is REAL fun).....flashbacks, what a PITA

Thanks guys,
Looking at the other side, I'm thinking it was all one piece at some point, but cracked into two.

I'm trying to find some 3M Silicone spray - it's apparently quite useful for installing seals, and it helps preserve the rubber.

I believe LMC or Cassic Industries carries it. Also try your local automotive paint store.

You should be able to pick up silicone spray at most any parts store. I doubt there is any difference between 3M and any other type, except for the price.
