    Stefan,

    There's a guy in Florida who might have your run channels and window sweeps.
    I've purchased some stuff from him. http://www.dannoenterprises.com/
    It's worth a try.
    There's also a place in Pennsylvania Restoration Specialties which also might be a good (or better) source.http://www.restorationspecialties.com/

    Good luck in your search.

    Jack

    Hi Jack.

    Thanks for the links. The Glass Channel Seals linked are allready from restorationspecialties.com ;-) Do you know their products. I'd like to know a bit more about it, because ordering tobswitzerland allways means a lot of transportation fees.

    I'll check dannoenterprise too.

    Thanks,
    Stefan

    Stefan,

    I got some run channel pieces from Danno, and was able to find one or two NOS OEM pieces, which are becoming near impossible to find.
    Find the GM part #'s and try your local GM dealer. You might be pleasantly surprised.
    B-body channels might be easier to find than A-G-body parts. No one to my recollection is reproducing them, but hopefully someone will in the near future.
    You may have to put your own sets together using various lengths of channel.

    The sweeps should be easier to find.
    This company reproduces many types of sweeps, and some run channels.
    They are a manufacturer, so you probably wouldn't be able to purchase directly from them. However, you can use their charts to help guide you.

    Good luck!
