Window/door seals +wing latch


Crusty320

Recommended Posts

I have done a bit of digging on seals for my truck and think that the door seals from a rear door from the Volvo S80 (90's-2000) should work on the 320 doors with a little trimming on length to fit. I've read it’s been done but does anyone know how hard it'll be and how good they will fit if you've done it your self? if not I'm looking into some generic stuff as well that might work as well. the 2nd big question is the wing window seals I've seen a couple on eBay for ~$300 preferably  looking to spend less that that but i don't know what else would work for them any suggestions? this isn’t that urgent mine are in pretty good condition but still leak a little in heavy rain. last thing is a drivers side wing latch, when i got my truck the latch was broken off and i don’t know if i can replace it without the while i window i haven’t looked that far into it yet but has anyone done this? i’ve been looking at a latch for the 521 that i think fits i just don’t know how to replace it if i pick up a new latch. So anyone that’s replaced one of those latch before your help is greatly appreciated IMG_0712.thumb.jpeg.d933d4c89830e16e5a57005314c7809c.jpeg

I might have still have a set of aftermarket wing window gaskets, but they are still going to be slightly over $200.00 picked up.

 

I also have some loose wing windows that might be closer to complete to replace that side, but I do not remember if they have arms on them.

 

PM me

Good to know on those gaskets unfortunately as it’s not super urgent and I don’t a lot to splurge on right now I’ll probably be saving that purchase for another time, I am interested in a window though if it has a latch

OK, I finally got photos of the wing window assembly I mentioned having, it appears to be the same type you want, it does not have a wing window gasket, here are the photos.

 

It is dirty, has some rust, like I said in the messages, it is the only one I have of this type, I believe it is from a 320, it appears to be the same size as the other 320 wing window glass I have of the different style.

So I got some more window questions, I’m looking into getting a new windshield since my has a big crack and it is the one that came original with it and is all scratched up. I was reading back on one of Waynos posts and y’all did a run of them. wondering if anyone that was apart of that knew what glass was used, I read somewhere that a 2005 jeep commander was the same curve as a 320 and would just need to be cut down, could anyone confirm this? This is all in the interest of saving money as there is a shop local to me that could cut a new one for me but more information I have the better. Along with a windshield comes new seals I read two possibilities one was from a site called John’s old auto rubber? Or something close to that. The other was using it form an old VW van. Again just wanna get confirmation on fits before buying anything.
 

Thanks, crusty
