S-11 Rear Window Window Channel


Recommended Posts

Posted

On the rear windows of my 1947 De Soto S-11,  there is a metal channel that is covered in a cloth fabric that goes around the perimeter of the roll-up window glass.  I looked at the Restoration Specialties catalog and didn't find anything like that, unless I missed something.  I don't know what kind of a glass run channel I could by that would make the radius on each upper corner.  I assume that there might be a cloth that I can use to cover the metal frame of the channel, which has a little tab that locks into a slot at the top of the window frame.  I don't know if this part is the same on other Mopar cars of the same year..

Back in 21004, I did my window weather strips with stuff from Restorations Specialties.  Call them up and ask them what to use. 

Glass run channels: U-shaped, with felt on the inner faces.  Window channel clips at the top and sides hold them in place. 

Belt strips, outer and inner, at the slot in the door.  I used reallly, really small screws to secure them.
