Correct vent window seals!

[timarr]

GUYS, I purchased one piece Precision seals. Dont waste your time a pita! I found two piece precision seals #VWK1110 81 A OR VWR81. Its a perfect fit on my m1008 . Remove the window unit, drill out pivot rivit, remove bottom nut ,spring and washers, take out glass, drill out three rivits to remove vent frame from window rail, Sit down and push in seal into grove ,soapy water helps, put back together in reverse, install new pop riverts where you drilled and I used a 8-32 x 1/2 screw and locknut on pivot instead of a rivit. you can gett the right rivit and tool from LMC. Hope this helps ,its been a long search and I found on fleabay ,under 50 bucks for both sides shipping included.

I did the same thing, ordered the 1 piece seals by mistake. LMC says one piece for our years but mine was 2 piece as well. instead of rivits I tack welded the frame back together. I have a picture in my durabak thread post #22

I need to replace my seals. On an auction site it says the 2 piece is for 85 and older and the one piece for 86 to 91. On my 1986 M1009 could I use the 2 piece, or is there much differance between the two that I have to use one or the other. THANKS

Grega,remember that all cucv s are built to 84 spec. no matter the yr. My m1008 is a 86 truck also.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong, but most, if not all CUCV's were built on a 1984 pattern, no matter what year it was assembled.

Here are some picture of the passenger seal on my m1008.

Thanks for the info, will look for some 2 piece seals. These are the last seals pieces that I have to replace. Ive been somewhat reluntant because it looks like it could be a PITA. Thanks everyone for the input.

Fid that come with the bracket for the glass? I ask because the other day when I went to open the vent window the metal rod part of the bracket snaped.

Much more economical than previous solution that was discussed. opcorn:Mine are both shot. Wish me luck! I am diving in.

I might be doing this, but might try to band aid it in the mean time by tightening up the vent window latch on pass side. Can anyone tell me how to tighten it or point me to a thread that could help?

Prairie and timarr that's funny I have a couple 1983's think they are all built to 1983 specs.

Use a washer or two in between the turn latch.
Clear silicone the h e double hockey sticks out of it.
There I fixed it.

CSM DAVIS, From my research the 2 piece seal that I used goes from 81-85 on a civilain truck.

You are correct about the seals but I was talking about the specs that Cucv's were built to 1983 not 1984.

I found the pivot rivet on LMC but I can not locate the tool for the rivet. Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction.

I used the Precision Seals as the LMC ones were wrong. The rivet is the last thing left.

Thanks!
