    If you are looking for the fuzzy channel that the gl*** slides in, Speedway sells is by the roll.

    http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=window gl*** run channel

    If you are talking about the metal U shaped channel that the fuzzy stuff squeezes into, you have to get repop for your make and model or have a buddy with a box and pan brake.

    Good luck, -Abone.
     
  4. If your steel backing is OK, you can use self-adhesive backed Velcro tape. You only need to buy the "loop" part of it. You can buy it 1" wide, which should do the trick. Pick the old fuzzy stuff out of the channel, remove the sticky backing, fold around a steel rule, and stick it in the channel. Some t******* may be needed along the edges.

    Call Restoration Specialties (Windber Pa.)They will know exactly what you need. Great people to deal with. I measured and cut my stainless steel backed track for the back of the vent window. They gave me a new piece no charge. No questions asked. This is what they do so they know what you need.

    There are several different kinds of "window track". Some used a thick part that has metal and rubber and flocking, they make it either rigid or flexible to bend around corners. Some used a metal channel with a rubber/flocking strip that kind of snaps in. It usually helps to know what kind of car you're working on, so you get correct advice. What works well on one car, may not be what you need on another car.
