Title: Replacing Window Channels
Post by: chetbrz on November 16, 2010, 07:52:25 AM
Has anybody replaced window channels recently on their P15.  I was wondering if anyone sold a kit or do I need to purchase individual parts.  

I saw these window channels in the Restoration Specialties catalog.  Any advise ?

Moving along hoping to be on the road this spring.

Wow! Chet, you car is really coming together. Looking great!

I don't know if there is a kit or not for the P-15 era. For my 1933, I just bought the channel in lengths and cut it to size.

try roberts auto parts in MA.  They sell it by the foot and have it in kits.  When u cut it, put a block of wood inside the channel and use a hacksaw.  Make sure your window winders are clean and work really good.  I think I recall having to take the window and latch mechanisms out to get the channel in right.

Thanks for the quick replies.  I think I have what I need on order. 

Details, details, details... After 6 years of working on this car I am relearning each area as I go along but it is great doing things for hopefully, the last time.
