| | | Can't find new Vent Window seals | Joined: Oct 2020 Posts: 17 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Oct 2020 Posts: 17 | I replaced all the door seals on my 77 B100 all way around. More pricey than I expected but it really sealed the van up. Doors don't rattle going down the road or leak when it rains or gets washed. Last on my list is the vent windows seals. One side is chewed up pretty bad from years of neglect before I got it. Can't find them anywhere. Not Fairchild, Metro or Steele Rubber. Google search just keeps offering me countless Jeep vent window gaskets but I can't see those fitting.
Anyone have any source for getting those? Or is there another vehicle altogether who's gaskets will fit the B100?

On my 93 Chevy they're not being reproduced either....I sealed them up with black RTV. Not really what I wanted to do but they whistled and leaked water.

I was hoping for new but at this point a newer set not chewed up from the junk yard may be my only option.

I ran the tape down the outside edge of the vent 1/4†and folded the tape in half to put another 1/4†on the inside edge. Works pretty good for a temp fix.
Welp....

Search them numbers on ebay, a few NOS show up, but they are not cheap. Dpmotorparts also has them for $65. | | | Re: Can't find new Vent Window seals | Joined: Oct 2020 Posts: 17 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Oct 2020 Posts: 17 | Part numbers are 2956202, 4083428, 4057968 for right front side, and 2956203, 4083429 for left side.

The eBay prices are nuts but the DP Motor parts had what I needed. I will eventually get both sides but for now the passenger was the one that looked to have been attached by a beaver and a caulk gun. LOL.
