Ok, so this is kinda of an update, a rant, and a warning all in one LOL

So we ordered a new sliding rear window from LMC and a seal. The original was a flat non sliding window. We installed it Friday. Now usually these pop right in with a little soapy water and a piece of clothes line cord.. This one took multiple tries. It just felt too tight top and bottom and the sides on left and right kept ending up loose. Drove us nuts. when it finally went in the result is ugly. Left and right have visible gaps between window frame and rubber. You can almost see daylight through the gasket on both sides. I will be sending it back and trying another manufacturer.. Really poor craftsmanship on this window tho. Sad really.

The gasket itself got a little beat up where it was too tight in the center top and bottom. We had the window partially in and out several times and rotated gasket a few times. The strange thing is there is no visible orientation for the gasket even tho the top left and right corners are substantially different radius's than the bottom left and right corners.

Almost forgot the warning.. Be leery of CR Laurence products.. BAD FIT!

We've been running into the same issues with the 56 Crown Vic at work. When it arrived it already had all the trim off it and the clips were all gone, we ordered all the clips from one source and some worked but some didn't so we ordered more clips from somewhere else. Nothing like having to stop and wait for more parts to arrive and wondering the whole time if they will be any better than what you already have. Probably wouldn't have been a big deal but alot of the trim has to go on first because the clips have to be secured from the inside which has held up getting the interior in. We also run into this issue frequently with the Ford tractors we restore. A good bit of the aftermarket parts have to be modified to work and parts that worked just fine on one tractor won't fit another. I blame it on the Chinese.

Absolutely Tim,

Just love on the website that they boast what a great fit their windows are.. After painting a truck the last thing you want to be doing is having a hard time getting a window in and out around fresh paint. I am looking for suggestions for a manufacturer of a sliding window for the 55 if anyone had had good results with a window company..

CR Laurence is about all there is for sliding back windows.

One thing to check is how the frame fits the opening of the truck and you can do some grinding to fit. Check your rubber, what ever the cross section between truck and window is what you are looking for. Unless its the type of rubber that over laps, but I don't thing that truck is if I remember right. You can use some small strips of rubber to push the gasket into corners that are too loose.

I won't be grinding a new window... Won't be grinding on the truck.. As stated the center of the window top and bottom near where the opening in the window is, is too tight. However. the ends left and right are to narrow. with the window centered you can almost see daylight through where the gasket meets the window frame.

I see MIDFIFTY sells the same one. Now I am seeing they call it a "tight" fit. but then they show this picture. LOL.. Is there no quality in anything anymore. Sadly the picture on the the midfifty website shows exactly what I wound up with. How dare they even sell these pieces of crap! I know by seeing it installed in the truck now that its not of matter of will it leak " I know it will " its more a matter of when will it leak and destroy my new interior, sound system, etc.. Will I notice it right away? Or will it be moldy before I see it? Ughh.. might have to do away with the slider.. Thank god I have after market A/C in the truck tho

I have been a glass man for 30 years and the problem is cars and trucks built back then were nowhere near precision built like they are today as I am sure you are well aware. The sliders are aftermarket quality and always have been. If you want a slider to fit nice, doing some work on it is the only way. I wouldn't grind on the body either, but you can grind on the corners of the slider and use 1/8" rubber cord to fill the gaps. The rubber gaskets are not what they used to be either.

I have cut the glass larger and use a molding from a later model to glue them in and look and little smoother too. Looks pretty good on some.

My issue is not so much in the corners but the vertical area between the corners. The gasket is just wide enough to cover the flat area on outside of truck and the groove for window frame only about 3/8 deep. If I add cord to truck side groove the gasket wont sit evenly around truck opening. It would probably correct it on the windows side however. That I think would help it to not leak I think but leave gap on truck side of opening vs window side. I might try this and also cutting gasket once in bottom center and taking the slack out then glue back together. Gasket seems to be about an inch to large

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
