window channel that goes in the vent window assy

[Lindel]

Anyone have a solution? Mine's history and gets a "bit" drafty in the cab, not to mention the associated rattles that mask the engine and road noises...

I am gonna watch this thread. :thumbsup: The trip to Elizabeth and back over the weekend left me half deaf from the wind noises in the 77 J20. Why are my ears still ringing? I think the doors need all new rubber parts and latch alignments. :cool: And low back FSJ seats are not good for a 51 year old abused back...

I need these also. It is the only seal I have not replaced.

Need a set as well....the felt's all but gone in mine.

Many upholstery supply stores sell the fuzzy portion of velcro by the foot for this very application. The stuff I bought is 2 inches wide and has the super sticky black adhesive on the back side (with that waxy paper protective covering that you pull off when you're ready to install). I removed the vent window/channel, ground out the old junk from the channel, and then folded the velcro over on itslef and layed it into the channel. Trim off the excess with a razor blade, and it's like new...but you must get a good clean surface for the adhesive.

By the way, you can get new factory style felt channels, but they're riveted into the vent window frame assembly and it's a real bear replacing them. These were the only seals/felts that I gave up on as being too difficult to replace with new factory stuff. For those folks in the Fort Worth area, the material is available at J&J paint and interior supply on White Settlement. Lindel, you can take a look at it tomorrow, and if you think it would work for you, I can buy a few feet of the stuff and mail it to you.
