Anyone know where I can get the inner rear door glass run sweeps? The front of door glass to vent window are available (big $$$) I can't find the rear channel ones. Y1 has them for 68-70 b-body convertible, but they are different from the hardtop (learned that the hard way). Help!

I've tried R/T Specialties, Classic Industries, Mega, BEA, Year One, and Ebay

Do you mean the "kitty whiskers"?

i think he means the felt like material that goes in the channel mounted in the door

You got it Thunder, the channel run in the door. After calling more places I decided to restore the originals with pieces from the new ones that wouldn't work. I got the glass in the door and it works great. It takes forever to get the glass just right and you have to do the 1/4 glass and then back to the door, then repeat.

I can't imagine that with all b-body hardtops having the same run (the door to 1/4 glass stainless with the fuzzy weather strip) there isn't somebody making them. But I remember when I started this restoration in 2006 there was a lot of things they didn't make but do now.

AFAIK the felt that is in the rear run channel is not being reproduced.
If it is, I'd like to know where to get it, too!  :yesnod:
