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.

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?


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.

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?
