The seals on my rear sliding glass in my 91 K5 are shot. They are cracked and water just comes through under the sliding glass. the rest seems fine. Where's the best place to get these seals?

There is always LMC, but I recall hearing iffy results...

I went through this on my 79. Went through a local window replacement company. I would say best bet is to match up universal weatherstripping, cut to fit. Take your time and do it. Nobody that I have found makes those strips as a direct fit.

Also, those strips must drain underneath them. The factory ones have slits in them to drain out of holes in the window housing. Make sure those holes are clean, and everything is draining.

Interesting. My seals are cracked, but if there is a drain, then even if they are cracked the water should still make it out the drain. This makes me think my leak is coming from somewhere else. I guess I'll have to look again.
