Title: Window Channels
Post by: jckwsky on January 27, 2016, 01:27:58 PM: OK, have yet to post pictures of my Pontiac up yet, but I need some help locating some replacement pieces. Particularly I am working on the windows right now, just the doors and side windows in the sedan, an I have these old worn out window channels/Fuzz. I have a found a few places online, thanks to the links here that sell some replacements, but I am mostly curious about what it actually is and what I should replace it with.

I think if you get a lynn steele rubber catalogue ( Denver NC ) or go online catalogue you will find a lot of the rubber replacement parts. Its a Fisher built body just like a Chevrolet and all those small parts, door bumpers ect are available.. This would also include the windshield wind up rubber set.

It's flexible and worked great.
