Does anyone make repop or offer new wingwindow gaskets? Or can they be rreconditioned by soaking in some solution? I absolutely cannot stand the whistle they make when they wear out. Typically I just use black RTV and "glue" them shut. But I really would prefer to keep them operational since they come in handy at times.

I have a 1987 D100 with the same problem and I see the listing does not show they fit later than 1986. What is the difference?

I sure hope the vent window seals work better on the 73-93 trucks then any supplier's seals for the 40s & 50s trucks do. the seals for the older stuff just sort of fills most of the holes. You won't want someone outside with a water hose if you want to stay dry. Least that has been my experience. Gene

Just got off the phone with Joe at Mopar Truck Parts. http://www.mopartruckparts.com/contact.htmlHe says that the '77 down wing window in the Dodge pickups are different from the '78 up, in the way it latches. He offered to let me take a look at the seals, and return them if they don't work (If I don't try to install them, or molest them). Just thought I'd pass on the info. Good luck. M

its all in the hinge and latch
some wing glass have 3 holes,some have 2 holes
IIRC the 3 hole glass is for the early trucks and the 2 hole is for later trucks.
the gasket kit I got from moparts member THEDODGEBOYS AKA Allen, fit very well with all of the weather strip in the kit. got me and my buddy 2 complete kits for 225$ each shipped back in 2010.
my vent window gaskets do look like they would fit glass with another style lower hinge...(has a molded round base that really does nothing for my wing window hinge.)
when I orderd them I never knew to ask about the differnt styles. lucked out on the 88 truck with 82 doors.
now that I am replacing the 85 cab with a 91 cab, I am needing to find doors and a new set of MATCHING wing windows and frames. or one to match either one I have. i have a 3 hole glass = 2 hinge 1 latch and a 2 hole glass = 1 upper hinge 1 latch with lower hinge on a chrome channel bar.
I see kits on ebay for 200$ but no wing gaskets. i see some for 250$ with wing gaskets but not sure what yrs I need yet. 
is member THEDODGEBOYS still around? does he still sell dodge truck stuff? he was in Bowling Green Kentucky.IIRC
i would sure buy another kit from him. the first kit was A-OK and only 225$
i lost his # and contact info...you out there tuning in Allen?
anyone check with DODGECONNECTION out of orange park FL. he is a member here also.
