Cabriolet glass runs?
 

Is the glass framed for a cabriolet? It's hard to see in pics because they always seem to be windows or top down. If so, where can someone get a metal glass channel for the 1/2" glass frame to slide in? Everything I find, and I mean EVERYTHING, is a max of 7/16, and glass frames I need to channel are a full 1/2. What are some of you using, but more important, where do you get it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, the door window glass is framed in chromed steel channel. Can't suggest a source of supply since you are ahead of me............ Will be interesting to see what comments are posted. Someone has been there already. Gar Williams

I`m not really fallowing your question, go to the Cabriolet web site there is a lot of pictures of what you are looking for. and no one that I know of makes the correct channel for the window frames. now if you are talking the rear felt that the framed window slides down in the rear of the door Bratton`s has it, you have to make a new channel to put it in because it is made different then the original ones. you also have to cut and fold the felt on the end that you see from the top,

Yes, I'm looking for a felt channel that a 1/2" wide metal glass frame can slide up n down in. I'll look in Brattons, but what/where is this cabriolet site? Thanks...
