I'm looking for a parts source for the door glass channel seals for a '68 Charger. That's the seal that allows the glass to slide in the channel with the vent window. Any help will be much appreciated.

The mylar seals are available as a reproduction piece.  The OEM pieces have been discontinued from Chrysler.  I have to say that the OEM pieces are much easier to work with, but they are very expensive as the reproductions are expensive enough.  We stock both the reproductions and have a very limited amount of the OEM pieces.  Numerous vendors offer the reproductions and there are some tricks that makes using them a bit more easier.  With either style, extreme caution is needed as they are very fragile and easily torn. 
I will drop you a private message on the pricing.

Yeap, those window runs go for $100 a piece on ebay( crazy!!.)  I've also heard that the repros are a pain to make work.

Look at this thread, reply #10.  The middle of the picture shows the packaging for NOS parts ($100/piece) and the old part laying on top.  I think someone is now making a better one for around $150 a pair.  Still a lot but what can you do?   :shruggy:

Edit.

I have wasted so much time and money on these that I found some worn used seals. My power windows just wouldn't work properly with the repros but it shouldn't be much of an issue with manual windows me thinks.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I had the same problem in my 70 Charger after installing a complete factory power window set up along with NOS motors as I didn't want any issues, EVERY roller/guide/channel/nut/bolt/etc/etc was refurbished/replaced/lubricated, ....I used NOS A frame glass channel runners, too much drag, then I bought the repro A frame glass channel runners, again too much drag, I ended up using some nice "aged" originals, like you I probably threw away $250+ only to reuse an old set out of some parts doors  :brickwall: :icon_smile_big:
