1954 Chevy bel air The front door gl*** channel on the door latch side. The vertical piece that holds the felt. This is opposite the vent window. Is there a metal runner that bolts to the inside of the door to hold the felt? It would go where the “gl*** run channel” is in the pic below...
Interested in this as well for my '32 3 window. Looking for the channel or "division bar" in the graphic to modify.
Yes I think so, on a two door sedan there is a bolt in channel. It slips into place at the top and is bolted to a stud plate at the bottom. I think if you look down near the bottom inside your door, you will see where it attaches. John
Ok wanted to make sure there is a piece to hold the felts. Anyone have a pic of it? I found a junkyard that is gonna check their yard for them. I would look for myself, but the nearest yard with an early Chevy is about 4 hours away...
Tri five you might get a repop one for a sedan. On the 32 it works much the same but mounts different. U shaped channel.
Been a few years, but i think WZ Junk is right, not attached at top and 1 fastener at the bottom. I installed some reproductions (possibly from national chevy ***n?) , they came in straight pieces that you bend into place. Go slow on the bending, it will look a little funky if you kink the metal on the sides of the chanel, but its well worth the money ... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I seem to remember a small screw that held the top (behind the felt) and a bracket of some kind that attaches the channel to the door frame with a bolt that was on the outside.
I guess the felts will help secure it when it’s all installed?.... no bolt or guide at the top, just kinda floating at the top
