im looking for window channel runs for the glass in my 78 suburban tailgate. lmc says they are different from blazers to suburbans. any one know this to be true? I cant find any for a suburban anywhere the dealer says they are not available anymore. thanks joe

I think it would be pretty hard to find NOS and I would actually be concerned with felt that old. Probably LMC or possibly A-1. It's something on my list due to the felt being pretty much gone in my channels....

Re: tailgate window channels
I asked lmc to send me pics of the ones they had. haven't gotten anything yet. I did find some mack truck window felt that I think is going to work. my channels were ok but the felt was destroyed.

Re: tailgate window channels
Mine are also shot so if you find some replacement felt that might work, I'd be interested in the source as well. Thanks!

Re: tailgate window channels
I wouldn't buy new channels if you have the originals, whatever felt is used in the repop parts isn't going to last very long. If that Mack truck felt is the right width you'd probably better off using that on your originals.

My sides are the same way, so I'll end up cleaning them up and trying to install new felt.

Re: tailgate window channels
its the right width. just a little shorter in the channel. I can get a part number. its longer overall and its only like 10 bucks a piece.
