I don't know the exact name for them. I am replacing all my window seals because they are cracked and rotted away. A lot of air and water gets right through them, which caused the window to bind up for the previous owner and the manual window cable snapped. I am switching over to power windows, and I want to replace all my seals before I screw up an expensive power window regulator. I found the outer door seals on the quadratec website, but I can't find anywhere to get the felt window channels/guides that go up along the vent window and the back of the door. Mine are completely shot and rotted out, the window can rock and bind up and get stuck because of this. Half of it broke off and is in the bottom of the door :/

Does anyone know where I can get the felt window guides? Or whatever they're called...I can't find anything on the internet.

Thanks,
Max

Thanks dude! The thing I can't understand though, is the longer piece that goes along the back and top of the door is $29, and the piece that goes along the vent window is $105 I'm gonna have to save up.

Nice try, but that's even worse.

I took measurements and just bought some of the generic window seals from quadratec that come in bulk. They weren't 100% perfect dimensionally, but maybe 95%. They have been working well.

I tried Quadratec but, kept coming up empty on the generic window seals.......specifically the channel run. My biggest problem is only one site carries the channel run for a 2dr XJ and they want $139 per side. I did however, find some generic stuff that comes in 6' sections from JCWhitney but, there's about a dozen different styles and dimensions. Anyone know which one of these will work with XJ doors?

I got mine from the jy I got all of them off a cherry and I mean cherry 88 for a low price of 50 bucks so I got extras just in case I need them down the road

same here jy ones the 4dr guieds next to vent will also work on 2drs

...maybe that is where I got mine. If it is, the site has the dimensions for those cross-sections. You will need that info and the measurements of the window channel (sorry, it's been about 5 years since I did this so I don't remember the specifics). IIRC, there are only 1 or 2 that will fit in the existing channel, so your options should go down significantly once you grab a tap measure. Once you get that far, I purchased 2 types: One "taller" and one "shorter". In the end, the shorter option proved to be much better. The taller option stuck way out of the channel, and while it probably performed better due to the significant overlap, it didn't look very good and made the windows a bit harder to operate (not much, but noticeable).

EDIT: Style 13 is ringing bells (at least the appearance). If that is one of the options that will physically fit, that is what I would bet on.

I think you may be right. It looks very similar to the one I ordered from another site and ended up having to return, because they sent me a 4 door version, which is several inches too short across the top.

Also................upon further inspection, my channel run seems to be more or less intact. The division bar seal however, is almost completely gone. Is there anywhere I can buy just the seal part without having to pay $129.00 for the whole division bar assembly?

I know this is pretty old, but has anyone come up with any cheaper solutions?? did that generic window seal work? Ive encountered the same problem, lookin for some options
