Bodean Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 So I've finished my truck ... took out the back window and the seal was shot... found 2 in the junkyards around here and they have no rear window seals ... I have one window seal but its broke in one place. Could I glue it together and use some 3m seal maybe... I've researched and researched and some sites say a regular cab seal will work but the windows are a different size ? Quote Link to comment
SLO720 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Vintage rubber is the only U.S. supplier online I know of. And yes, standard cabs have smaller rear glasses. The seal from vintage rubber is made in Taiwan so not sure on quality. I have one for my king cab (switching to a solid back glass.

MaxChlan Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, I had a similar struggle, which is why I never bothered to replace the cracked seals on my king cab slider. I used some silicone to fill the cracks, but since your window is already out of the truck, that obviously won't work for you. Quote Link to comment
Bodean Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Looks like its vintage rubber ... anyone know a promo code ? Lol Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Sorry. I didn't specify the one Rock Auto has is for a standard cab. Looks like they have run out of seals for King Cab. So has Precision seal. The original Datsun part number for a king cab is 79716-B9300 if it helps your search. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Bodean Posted December 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Soo... I got the vintage rubber seal in... and it seems to have small gaps after I installed it... meaning I can see daylight from the inside ... so what I'm asking is should I just go around It with black caulking... the windows in and it's not coming out . It jus seems the seal was a bit big Quote Link to comment
SLO720 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I still havent installed mine that's definitely a bummer to hear! I'd say wait for someone else to chime in but I would say use 3M window strip adhesive or a clear/black silicone Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you read the Nissan factory service manual it says calls for some points to need sealant. I had a friend with a 620 who had a new Precision brand seal with the same prob. With the help of a glass professional they R&R’d the windshield 6-7 times trying to get the seal to fit w/o sealant. They were scraping rust, painting, bending metal, etc. They never got it to seal. I informed them about the service manual note. They sealed it, no prob. They surmised the cab may have been a bit tweeked from a PO fender bender. Hope this helps? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
