Weatherstrip Channel (on body) @ window

[FallujahMedic 10]

When you open your door and you look @ where the window meets the weather stripping, notice the chrome (or painted) channel that holds the weather stripping in place? It goes almost all the way ' round the door opening... Anyone have an idea what it's called? I called NPD today and must have gotten a new guy. The only time i've ever called and they had no clue about what I was talking about.

Anyway, need 2 of 'em and need to find a part number. looked it up on my Detroit Iron CD, but still couldnt find what I was looking for.

 

Anyone??

it's called a window channel and they are not reproduced so that may be why they didn't WTF you were talking about. it's one the very things that ever gets stripped off a parts car so you may be able to find one locally if there are any wrecking yards in your area that have old stangs or ebay.

 

cougar pieces will work also. there is a guy in teh parts for sale section that goes by cajun69 i think that is parting out a 69 grande, he probably has the pieces you need.

Yeah, thats the roof rail weatherstrip channel and can be difficult to source. I've seen a pair sell on ebay for hundreds of dollars. Try here.

Well, I emailed them.......and been waiting.............and waiting. May have to pick up the phone and actually speak to somebody though.

This must be one of those "found on a hard top only" kind of things becasue I can't for the like of me imagine at all what part you guys are talking about.

[chillininnh 21]

Yup, as a convertible owner you need not worry, it's a hardtop part. This channel molding holds the roof rail weatherstrip (seals the window at the top when rolled up) in place.

 

 

You can just barely see the chrome channel in this pic, between the drip rail molding and the seal. the roof weatherstrip seal rides in this channel.

Thats it Exactly, thats the part I'm looking for!

Thanks for sharing this information with us. I know that this thread is already old but I just dug in this to browse information like omix weatherstrip seal reviews.

Oh HAHA I didn't even bother to look at the date :clown:

I actually do need those! Except i have a coupe, no one reproduces them for a coupe :(

[rangerdoc 22]

You can have my old ones. I just found some that were in a little better shape than mine. I'm sure shipping would be a pain because of the size box they would need. Let me know if you want more info.

[Cruzzar 22]

FYI. These weatherstrip channels on my '70 FB are stainless and will polish up just like new. I assume the coupes are also stainless.

Yep, mine polished up better than new!

Hey thanks!

 

Where you located? I'm in PA

 

My drivers side one has a nasty kink in it that screws up the bend of the channel. My PS one is way out of whack aligned to the windows.

 

Did your old ones fit well on your car/windows?

 

If shipping's not crazy i'd definitely take'em if they're in good shape! Let me know!

[rangerdoc 22]

I'll take some pictures and post them for you to see what you think. If you're interested after that I'll pm you the details.

 

But there were no fitment issues before they came out.

[Jayru 17]

Ok, thanks!

I need one of these also if anyone reads this and has one to sell. Passenger side sportroof. Window weatherstrip channel that screws down and holds the weather strip in place.

The sportroof ones are reproduced. Check CJ pony parts.

 

Coupes are not unfortunately... I just paid $175 for a used pair from Glazer Nolan mustang barn :-(

Hey guys. New member here in need of some serious help. I've been searching for these channels used with no luck. Has anyone used the ones from CJ Pony Parts. They look a lil different and I think they might be the wrong part. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

[Solid 10]

Sorry for the bump but I really need some input. Ive been looking for this part for over a year with no luck.
