Where to buy steel window channel?

I need some half inch wide steel u channel for my door window gl***. Who sells this? Maybe I have a brain cramp but I cant see bending it myself on a brake? May try that today. Thanks for any advice.

 

is that to put the window run in?? i got a car with a square tube with one side cut out
someone needs to post a place that sells "stock" widow trim and parts
its a problem to come fopr many

Hope this helps

 

he is looking for the steel channel that you place the gl*** run channel in. This way the channel is supported as the window goes down. I have been looking for it and cannot find it. I used to get it from a supplier and he is gone

 

If you can't find it why don't you just try and get some small square tubing and get a cut off wheel and just cut out one side. A lot of work but if you can't find it maybe just a thought...... My 2 cents......

 

agree that this is an option, just hoping someone has better options. One of my faults is I like to use the credit card to save time.

Thanks, sounds like I am not the only one.

 

THANKS for that link, 4 pages of options for now and future.

 

Last time I wanted some, I just took a piece of the felt gl*** run channel down to the local rod shop and he bent up a couple of 20ga channels to fit while I waited.

 

Made mine myself Dave out of cut down box section.

Also looking for a better option. Time is money, prefer to buy the easy stuff and fabricate what I cannot buy

 

MACS has 96" lengths and I think Snyders does too

 

I'm looking for piece of this now. I'd like the kind with the little stainless steel edge - any idea's where to get it? I've checked with Mac's and Snyder's

 

Here's another view:

 

Restoration Specialties Winbar PA.Is where i got mine.Got my trim clips there too!

 

Tell them the car that you are working on and they will know what you need. I asked for some that goes into the vent window up right. I told them wrong size. They gave me a new piece after I cut it to length....no charge. They have been supplying the hobby for over 30 years.

 

You can get that at amgoodmupholtery supply. c.W. Lawerence
