replacing power window seal runs?

[89 jimmy]

Looking to replace the seals that the power windows run on(doors). I've never done before so I don't really know how to do it. Do I just pull the old ones out by hand? Do you use glue or sealer to hold the new ones in?

Just pull them out by hand. No glue is need. roll the window all the way down pull the door panel off to access the lower part of the window track. just feed them down the track, making sure they stay in place. Then just push them in around the top, I think there is one small clip up top. Real easy to do.

Just to clarify thats the seal that surrounds the window sides and top that kinda look like a felt material. I want to replace because even with window up tight I can still hear alot of wind noise coming in. Thx.

Teck has it right. I have a brand new set myself that I need to install when the weather is better. Where did you gets yours from? I bought mine from Classic Parts as i've been told their rubber products are the best (i've bought other items from them and had no issues).

I was thinking about LMC but I have not got them yet. You think classic parts are better?

I've been told they are and that lots of times they are NOS GM stuff. I know when I ordered my radiator overflow bottle it was a Genuine NOS GM part.

IIRC the window seals you need were only like 18.00 each from Classic Parts. Actually, i'm in their catalog now and you need part number 03-323 (81-91 left side) and 03-324 (81-91 right side) and they are 14.95 each in this catalog (not sure what year the catalog is but within the last 2 years).
