I'm jumping in a little late on this, but I just finished installing the complete window kit from LMC. Everything fit pretty good but the quarter window rubber, especially the longer upright side was squirrely. There are little tabs I had to cut off and I ended up putting some adhesive silicon between the rubber and frame and clamping it until dry. Worked great. The channel felts just 'snap' into place.

I bought the full LMC kit for my build and am happy with the quality of most of it, however the "anti rattle" window fuzzies kinda suck and do not fit very well. Also the vent window rubber i thought didn't fit well, but as long as you drill out the old rivets it fits decent, but I couldn't find any rivets small enough so I glued mine into place instead of riveting it. Time will tell how good that decision was.

I finally got around to installing this this winter, got the garage insulation fixed what a difference working in there now, I also converted my florescent lights to led what a difference.

back to the anti rattles, if you are going for a full 100 point restoration to stock these dont exactly match the stock ones I took out, that being said I don't think you could tell unless you had them side by side, too me not worth 110 dollars more for DC. Huge difference in how the doors shut now no rattle I can't wait to drive again if it ever stops snowing.

Biggest pain was getting the almost 50 year old channel out, most of it came out a half inch at a time it was hard as a rock and very brittle. New stuff went in super easy. Vent rubber is still good so I didn't replace them I've also read that tthe DC rubber for that didn't fit that great.

Oh and this kit is the same one JC whitney and a few others sell.
