Hi Dave,

that's a bit steep. I would be ringing the place you bought them from and say you're missing a piece...I would expect that when you buy a quarter window rubber you get all 4 sides... maybe that's why you can't find it listed separately?

As FB cruzn says that section is available from Rares. When you buy the quarter rubbers from them you get all 4 sides.

Check out this thread for Rares- it has 2 listings for quarter windows...

As Stewart states, those division bar rubbers should have been included.... perhaps an oversight by the outlet.......
There's a "trick" to getting them in properly - they do not come with the tanged steel backing and must be adhered directly to the division bar.
The rubber moulding is coded and should be fitted as instructed.
I don't know how far back or exactly where I posted on this, it should still be somewhere in the archives..... but I had a 30 minute discussion with one of the Rares proprietors who walked me through the procedure..... I will need to re-visit my post when I finally get around to completing the r/hs quarter vent...... currently all work on our old bus is stagnant....... no work performed for over three years.....
pm me your email addr. if you want me to send you an email with the word doc I wrote..... it will be somewhere in the plethora of stuff I have tucked away on one of my hard-drives........

frats,
Rosco
