years ago i bought the glass run channel for a truck [curved corner, not square] [still have that pair in GM boxes-for sale?] can i buy square corner glass run?
i checked in a hollender interchange about the interior door opener [remote, as GM calls it] and there was no listing. i looked at several trucks and doors and they all look the same. so i am going to buy a '68-'71 remote and see if, in fact, it will fit a '67.
also Classic parts now has gray door handle escussions [sp?] so i will get 4 of them. maybe stop some wind noise.
thanks rod in AZ

The filler in the division bar can be bought as just replacement felt/fuzzies. When I did mine, I left the whole thing assembled and put a fine wire wheel on a 4-1/2" grinder and ran it down the channel. That instantly removed the old fuzz. Then I put some Permatex weatherstrip adhesive in the channel, laid the new fuzzies in it and put the assembly back in the door. It works great.
As far as the square corner goes, I do not know of anybody making a Suburban only window run channel. When I did mine, I just cut the channel at a forty five and put it in. Looks good and functions as intended.
On the door latch part, I do not know if it is the same. Might want to post that question in the truck section as that gets more traffic.
