window channel

[stan's52]

My 52 concord needs 4 1/2 ft. of window door channel. Seams all I can find are long

pieces. like 8 ft. Then toss out 3 1/2 ft. Does anyone sell the correct length, or

closer to what I need? Another option is, just buy 8 ft, and use 4 ft which will be 3

inches short inside the door. Will the 3 inches short inside the door really make a

difference? Something about buying something I need, then tossing out a good piece.Stan

The three inches short inside the door will likely not matter much but the manner in which the channel fastens

to the door may give trouble if it is short.  If you can use a sheet metal screw which will bury itself deep in the

fuzzy part, it might work out ok.

 

The best option would be to use the correct length , saving the shorter pieces for a future project with smaller glass.

first, check that the lower guides inside the door that the front channel rides in, (chrome edge of glass) does not require a bit of this felt channel.  you may find you have less waste than you think

I've got a stick of window channel, approx 66" long, left over from my restor job,on my '50 Dodge.

 

Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

 

Send me a P.M. if you are interested in it.

On another window channel discussion, http://p15-d24.com/topic/40579-window-fuzzies/page-2 a poster appears to have bought his correct length, with photo.
