The Ford Barn

1929 Model A Fordor Briggs

1) Is there a place I can buy the left & right window channel for each window with out buying a kit? Macs has the kit but I only need some footage of channel. You use to be able to buy this is in a roll by the foot.

2) What is the best adhesive to glue the channel in with?

3) Should I lube the channel with silicone or something?

Any other hints to have happy windows ???

Thanks

Pam or Pledge dustin' spray does a pretty good job lubing old dry window channels. Bill W.

good to know - I will try it but how do you do it without getting it all over the glass & car?

Roll the glassdown or lube if needed before installing, vasline also work. plus spray on teflon as used on ranch sliders. Vintique sells eco kits , 2 channels & top sponge , They actually good,
