rubber channel research
Thanks for the advice on searching Soft Seal or Metro. I have spent much time in doing just that with no luck. I have used part numbers stamped on the original rubber with no luck as well as contacting other vintage "rubber" companies. As most folks are aware of, the B-body/E-body have these rubber/flocked "U" channels, however are different in dimension. B-bodies have the channel for the rear part of the glass and E-bodies have it for the rear of the quarter glass. Each channel is held in place by X2 semi-tubular rivets. In most cases, I have not had to replace these as the rubber is still pliable and flock is in good shape. The E-body I am restoring now requires replacement of these. I am hoping that someone has been successful in doing research and knows exactly where to purchase the correct pieces. Thank you, Steve
