Door Channel Felt? Where to Find?

HawkRod · Feb 25, 2015

Hi Guys,

Maybe I am just being thick: I need to find the felt or rubber, or whatever it is that allows the glass to go up and down in the doors for a 1970 Road Runner. For the front window, the felt attaches to the window itself and allows the window to slide up and down the back of the vent window. For the rear, it attaches to the bracket that sits in the door.

I've looked at many usual possible places: Steele, Classic Industries, Soff Seal, Herbs and Year One. I can't seem to find them.

Help! Where can I find these?

Thanks as always,

Hawk

hsorman, did you try Partsmix Mopar on eBay? I think they have them

The front vent window guide seals are still made these days.....Mopar part 2932230

Just a few options for you:

http://dantesparts.com/frontchannelguide.html

http://www.factorymoparparts.com/2932230.html

http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-mopar/2932230

http://www.moparamerica.com/oe-mopar/2932230

http://www.moparproshop.com/inc/sdetail/6709/6717

Or go right to your local Mopar dealer and order them. You will need two kits if changing both driver and passenger side.

Here's for the backside of the window...You can buy flocked rubber or just plain rubber:

https://www.metrommp.com/?f=detail&ModelNumber=VS%207-E&VehicleYear=1970&Make=PLYMOUTH&Model=ROADRUNNER

https://www.metrommp.com/?f=detail&ModelNumber=VS%207-E%2FFL&VehicleYear=1970&Make=PLYMOUTH&Model=ROADRUNNER

IMO, Metro makes the best weatherstripping/seals for our old Mopars.

Hope it helps!

Looks like this has been handled,but I get mine off eBay kinda hard to find takes me awhile but it's here sometimes it comes with a full seal kit too .Good luck

Wow, thanks guys! :headbang:

You'd think I didn't even check, but I actually searched for awhile. Part of the problem was likely that I didn't really know the specific part name. Either way, I greatly appreciate the help!

I'll order these up tonight when I get back from work...

Thanks for supplying that list. Those supppliers all list the kits as for the post coupe 1/4 windows except Dantesparts list it for the front door as well. I know the 1/4 window slides are the same as the front door but are the channels the same length and design as the 1/4 ones? Has anyone used these 1/4 ones on the front door?

Hey no problem at all Moparparts. I know the mopar part wording "W/STRIP-PKG QTR WDO&SLIDE&PIN" is pretty confusing. They're obvious referring to the vent window as a quarter (QTR) window. I was scratching my head when I replaced mine because there isn't this same type of seals/guide for quarter windows (I was thinking the glass behind the door glass). These kits will work on all front vent window guide seals for hardtop, post, convertible and 4-door/wagon. They're cut to fit and ride in the channels nicely. Not the most fun putting together and installing, but the thin plastic under the flocking was completely destroyed on my bird...had to go.

X2 on prop's post. Got mine from dealership. next day, no shipping .... They are pricey little things though !

a68postcar · Apr 13, 2015

since no one asked I will. how (procedurally) does one install the fronts without destroying the ends?????

65-440 · Apr 14, 2015

please explain "destroying the ends" .....

HawkRod · Apr 14, 2015

Since I haven't yet gotten to my side windows, I am certainly interested in learning. Subscribed! (again :grin

we got a set of the vent window trim from partsmix and when I popped the holes in them they were fine, but when I added the plastic guides and attempted to slide them in the tracks, disaster. they were so thin and poorly designed(no curve) that they tore the corner out an crumbled. in other words, unusable. so the ones from mopar were the ones we bought next, exact same install procedure and boom, right in the track.the mopar ones had a curve to match the track. so now we are looking for the rear run channel. it appears that metro has them in rubber and flocked. gonna have to give em' a try. thanks for the help fellas.
