    Hey guys, I have a 55 Ranch Wagon and I'm struggling to find a replacement (or something that would work) seal for between the sliding rear window and the stationary one. The vertical strip section where the sliding window overlaps the stationary. My original ones were non-existent and need to get something to replace them.

    Any suggestions or help would be great! Thanks in advance!

    Where there is a will there is a way, since I replaced all the gl*** 1/2 inch bigger and couldn't find a suitable slides to replace the originals, I ended up using regular window channel, I did add a filler inside the opening to raise the window felt up a 1/4 inch, this was in 2009, not perfect but it works, HRP

    IMG_5154.jpeg IMG_5155.jpeg IMG_5156.jpeg Update for anyone curious….. ended up ordering 55-57 Nomad side window vertical seal to see if would work. Looks like it’ll do the trick for now! Unfortunately the chrome trim won’t slide over so this may still be a temporary fix until I find exactly what I need.

    Figured I’d post in case anyone was in the same boat as me. Pictures for reference on what seal I was talking about. The vertical section on the stationary gl***.

    Thanks guys!

    Do you have a good gl*** shop in your area? There is a guy local to me that can get the right material and install it.

    Probably not in my town but I’m close enough to Denton and the DFW area I can find someone.
