Window felt weatherstrip (beltline weatherstrip)

I found that all the ones that I tried did not work for me. I especially don’t recommend the Steel Rubber products version. I ended up removing the clips and raising them up to run flush with the window opening and using screws to attach them. I also removed the glass from the channel and ground off some excess metal and pinched the channel and used a glass setting material to install the glass in the channel. At the same time installing the glass in the channel a little higher in the channel than before. It all works vary well now and does not bulge out my sheet metal when I roll up my window. On the passenger side all I had to do is use screws on the fuzzies. I did not have the touch the channel and the glass.

Just curious if you tried the kits/pieces from the truck shop in Orange?

No I don't believe I have. When comparing all of the products I have bought, to the originals I have, I don't think even the originals would have fixed the problems that I was having.
