Rear slider gasket

I don't say this enough, but you all ROCK! thanks :)

When I installed the newer slider, I replaced the one-piece black seal with the earlier 1982 - 1986 Bullnose version with the chrome lock strip.  It fits the later slider perfectly, and looks more period-correct.  Especially if you have a Lariat model.  If you wish to use the earlier style, here are the part numbers I used:

To keep it all in this thread -

Got the E0TZ fixed glass with trim gasket today from RTRW. Another Dennis Carpenter one. Fit around the CRL slider as expected.

Myrle - do you recall if your CRL slider had plastic pieces glued(?) in the bottom corners? I assume they are to help seal and push out those corners a bit but just wanted to make sure I don't need to pop them off.

Speaking from personal experience, and as Ive mentioned before, you absolutely need those corners to get the window to seal.

CRL can only bend the extrusion so tight before it collapses..
The plastic makes up the difference in those acute corners

Thanks Jim.
They seemed pretty secure on there so figured they stayed.

On the chrome rope - does that go in before the window is installed in the truck or after?

After.  

Thought I would try to keep this all in one thread, but as an FYI I wanted to confirm something for the next person, especially since both Steele and Rubber the Right Way have updated/changed their websites to be less specific/informative.

I haven't installed it yet, but it appears the master weather-strip kit from RTRW for 1980-86 Ford Trucks will NOT kit a rear factory slider from 1980 or 1981 with the aluminum frame (I expected this). I am making an assumption that the wide gap faces outward into the cab frame with the longer lip on the exterior. this means the inward facing slit/gap is for the window, and is barely thinker than a normal pane of glass.

(As expected) I'll be ordering the 70s part number gasket (DXXXXXXXXXXXXX).

Does the 1980-1981 aluminum factory slider fit in the same gasket/seal used for the plain back window? That is what came with the Fairchild kit....a seal to fit the plain glass rear window.

No
The factory slider frame is 3/4" thick (or more)
Aftermarket sliders use a skinny flange that fits in a single pane (fixed glass) gasket

I can't confirm but according to the info I found at FTE, for those early years, they do

From earlier in this thread-

Which early years, Scott?
Mid 80's and my '87 -for sure- don't fit in a solid glass gasket.

That post has the years

I'm done

I thought that the 1980 and maybe 1981 factory aluminum sliders fit in a plain window gasket. This is the one in my 1980. I haven't pulled it yet, but I thought they had a flat flange that was the same size as the factory plain glass.

The whole window sticks outside of the cab/gasket.

If due to the brevity of my post - no offense intended at all. Was rushing out the door and didn't want to leave you hanging.

Copying from that table though (since that's the only reference I have):
D3TZ-1042084-A: For Solid Window without chrome trim. 1973-1979 and Factory Slider: 1973-1981.

Editing as this thread popped in my head tonight and bothered me: I want to emphasize that I meant no disrespect with that post -again, was just wanting to provide a quick response but in text there is no arguing how it came out and even I have trouble reading it in the way I intended it. You have my apologies Jim.

That will be great info to have [when you pull it] - I have a factory aluminum one in the shop I can check out when I get home but pretty sure it's the thicker (thus later) one.

Shoot, that picture does make me do a double take. I dont have my truck anymore to look at, but on a FTE post, a guy had a picture of the top of a slider that was a solid and flat piece that completely embedded in the gasket. GRRRR well forget my post from earlier today.

Right. I have a factory 1995 SRW here waiting to go in the 1980, and I have a factory 1996 SRW in my 1984. It is the style that sits completely inside the window gasket.



I don't know anything about the 1980-1981 SRW and gasket, but I'll probably be pulling it out this summer, so I'll post up some pics when I do. I can check it this weekend to see how it fits.

I have a power slider from a 1996 in Darth, I paid the glass installer that Pete's uses to do it and left Darth's tinted fixed window with them for stock.
