Where do the Manufactures/Vendors get this Stuff?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Frizzle Fry · 01-25-2008, 07:54 AM

This is not meant to be a WTB, I need help figuring out where to buy something:

I've been working on a mod for one of my trucks and I'd like to find a source from which to purchase glass run stripping (the weatherstrip that goes in the upper/rear of the door-window frames) by the roll.

When vendors sell it for a specific year/model truck it comes cut to length with relief cuts for the radiuses. I'd like to find the same stuff, just not pre-cut.

For reference I'm talking about the material used to make item #9 here.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Here's a pic:
