'I am in the process of rebuild my doors for my 46 F-24. I was
wondering if anyone had any pictures they could share of their door
window channel. Also if any one has any reccomendation on where to get
the right channel I would appriciate it. Thanks JON'

'I assume that you are talking about the "U" channel that the glass slides in.
I don't remember specifically where I got mine, but it was at a shop that normally would be replacing automotive glass. It had an aluminum base, with rubber, cloth, and fussy stuff over that. It was easy to nail into place. Even very small screws might work. I got enough to do front, back and the top. When you replace the channeling, don't move the channel inward, at least not very much. The metal channel that the glass fits into can make contact with the regulator. The closest point for interference would be at the pivot point for the regulator gear/arm.

I can easily do photos. I have one door that doesn't have the exterior skin on it.

'Thanks Bob. I would really appreciate a few photos. Please send them to
obliquephoto@comcast.net. Also how wide is your channel? Did you replace
your glass? If so did you stay with safety glass or go with something else
like plexi. Thanks in advance. JON

'Jon,
You may want to try JC Whitney.com. That's where I got mine. They fit very well and easy to install. I can send pictures, as well. Let me know.
