Need opinon on rear window
« on: June 19, 2010, 05:39:50 pm »
I want to order the rear window gasket on the truck but got a question on what would look the best.Should i go for the center trim in black or the silver ? I need to know what you think would look best before i order it.If chris sells it i`ll go thru him and my donation for the site...



thanks

On my 73 I used the standard weatherstripping. No lock strip, im personally not a fan of them and the standard type in my opinion gives the truck a cleaner look. But of the choices you gave, I would get the black one. I seen alot of the chrome ones turn yellow or other funky discoloration.

If you have the chrome lock strip in fornt use the chrome lock strip in back. I actually like the lock strip better than the one piece seal especially if you have to take it apart.
