The Ford Barn

Have a '49 Ford Convertible, even with window regulators removed none of the side glass will roll up or down without alot of effort. Seems the window frame and felt side channels fit to tight together. 2 things come to mind, either the last owner replaced the felt side channel with the wrong channel or the Chrome window frames are not compatible with that part. Did Ford offer Chrome window frames in all '49 Verts? Maybe a PO had them Chromed now they are to wide? If I need new channel who is the go to vendor for the '49 parts? Thanks!
