Fairchild Industries, Inc. KG1011 Transparent Grip 1977-1985 Oldsmobile 88 Glass Run Kit

Fairchild KG1011 Glass Run Kit

The Fairchild KG1011 is a transparent glass run kit built for 1977 to 1985 Oldsmobile 88 models. It replaces worn or missing window channel seals to keep glass aligned and reduce wind noise. Owners restoring these full-size sedans will find the kit matches the original profile. The clear material blends with the window opening without altering the car's appearance.

Upgrade From Deteriorated Original Seals

Factory rubber channels harden, shrink and crack after decades of heat cycles and UV exposure. Installing this kit restores smooth window travel and a tighter cabin seal when the original parts no longer hold the glass firmly. The improvement is most noticeable on vehicles where windows rattle or leak air at highway speeds. Cars with intact, pliable seals do not need this replacement.

Covers 1977 Through 1985 Model Years

The kit fits the Oldsmobile 88 produced between 1977 and 1985, including the 1980 to 1990 reference range noted by the supplier. It addresses the door and quarter window runs for these specific model years. Vehicles outside this range, or other GM B-body variants with different channel profiles, are not covered. Buyers should verify their exact year and body style before ordering.
