54 Door Window Track Felt
 

I'm helping put a 54 back together and the door window felt kit the shop gave me with the truck just don't seem to fit the door very well and are causing the glass to bind as you try to roll up the window.

I'm much more familiar with the 67-72 trucks. Any pointers on this or best place to buy this window felt. I know that on my 71 some of these repo parts were way better from one vendor vs the next.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

i used to use precision, but now its too tight in the channel and that means tight on the glass. i switched to lmc but this year they switched suppliers (and dont really care about complaints) so I think from now on I will just buy Steele rubber kits, they are seriously like $200 more but for $200 less you can get stuff that doesnt work I guess.

there is the window track kits, for a complete set you will also need the $132 wing window stuff.

Question regarding the rivets in the vent window upright channel. Russ do you use the original style rivets with the Steele product (or others)? Or have you developed an alternative solution? I've read the original rivets can be awkward to replace especially the vent window pivot rivet.
