I rebuilt me sliding windows before my AlCan trip last summer. Zack at Rovers North hooked me up with all the parts needed.
So are the said gaskets included in the Garrison kit? I already have the kit. I?m not familiar with gaskets that go over rivets. Just trying to get some clarification.I got the Garrison kit. Also, my windows are in very rough shape; sitting out in the weather for 21 years in wet weather; all the seals are perished and/or moldy. The bottom plastic tracks are cracked. I ordered pretty much everything for a full rebuild, in addition to the Garrison kit:
MWC7612: RUNNER WINDOW BOTTOM SLIDE DEFENDER
MWC7614: SEAL DRAUGHT RAIL -DEFENDER
MUC1008: WINDOW SEAL ROOFSIDE DEFENDER
MUC1005: FILLER STRIP WINDOW SEAL DEFENDER
MWC7617: GLAZING STRIP ROOFSIDE WINDW DEFENDER
MUC4025: RUBBER STOP SLIDE WINDOW ROOF SIDE DEFENDER
MWC7615: GLAZING STRIP REAR WINDOW
All available from RN and other sources. It adds up. I should be doing the rebuilds in the next few weeks.

If you have any white chalky oxidation on the frames inside or out, punt and buy new windows.
Mine work great. I went to the trouble to notch the Garrison strips at the places where the latch locks, and it smoothly moves from position to position.I cheated and used felt instead of my Garrison rubbers because I wanted to save those for a new set, or for a rebuild. However, just having new felt in place makes the windows so tight I can hardly move them. The felt is much thinner than the Garrison rubber strips. So I’m worried that I will rebuild the windows, but not be able to use them! Am I missing something? Have you guys seen better operation, as well as having the rattles go away?
They fit my perentie - the only caveat being I needed more of the rubber extrusion - almost double - which was strange. I thought I was going nuts but maybe there are more channels on the Perentie window tops. Reached out to Garrison and they sent me more extrusion no problem.I bought this kit for my front windows and it didn't fit on a Perentie. I thought they were the same LR window door tops. Apparently not.
I didn't have any problem with them with some penetrating oil and the correct screwdriver bit, but I didn't have any white crud on the frames, either (just faded paint). I can see how if the frames are that far gone the screws could be affected as well.If you place any value on your own time you will spend far more time trying to get the screws that hold the frames together out than is worth it.
I have a well used Harbor Freight pneumatic rivet gun that made the window reinstall an easy and fast job. I also ordered new plastic tracks from Zack and replaced them while I had the window apart.Note to anyone looking to do the rear kit...I invested in the Milwaukee Rivet gun and it made this job a five minute job. Love this tool...
