Steele has both and so does Kanter. I believe both pieces sell as pairs only.
Can be a PIA to install if the entire main window and frame has to come out to remove the vent. I recently did it on the 47 and the later cars are very similar. I don't remember if Steeles later model vertical rubber has the embedded steel core or is just cemented over the old core. The 47 had the embedded core and those have to be riveted to the frame.

Has anyone replaced the rubber around the rear door fixed quarter windows on a 1951-54 Packard? I see only the one style of rubber listed on Steele that is describe has rubber for vent windows in rear door. Do both use the same rubber? Wanted to verify before ordering rubber pieces.

Hi Troy,
That illustration is a regular wing window that opens. Mine are fixed, and don't open. John

Which model do you have? I thought they all opened but there is "special stationary equipment" mentioned for a 2492 model. Only description is a 200 sedan so curious why it was available with a special no vent option. Is yours a really stripped down model or a special purpose like the salesmans or business model that had shelves for sales cases and no rear seat.
Could you post a photo as to what vent looks like. If the stationary window was only used on one model then finding formed rubber may prove interesting. -- unless it maybe could use something like an ordinary U shaped channel such as early windshield or maybe rear window rubber. It if can use generic then several shapes are sold by the foot and might be a possibility.

That is what mine is Howard, a 2492 4 dr sedan. It would be the cheapest of the 1951 200 4 dr sedans. Though it does have a radio (push button) outside mirror, heater/defroster, Ultramatic and back lights and turn signals.
I hope to get a better look at it maybe Tuesday this next week. Right now it is under a car cover with a couple inches of snow on it. Suppose to start warming up Monday. John

Checking the owner's register, I see at least 8 other people that own 2492 series Packard cars.
