window flex track?

I went to the local Dodge dealer to see if I could a new flex track for my GW and they looked at me like I was crazy. Any ideas?? I dont want to use the cheap auto parts replacements. Thanks

BJ's has 'em for about $17 (+/-) with our IFSJA discount. Good ones too, straight and not those coiled up carp ones that break when you straighten them.

I've bought 2 sets of 4 from BJ's and they are perfect replacements.

Dodge used them in all kinds of cars and their replacement is a universal that you trim to fit. Maybe you need to find a different dealer.

I have used the ones in the Help section at the local auto parts store and they work fine.

With one caveat...that I'm just now finding out '89, '90 and '91 use a different track so if you have one of these years...

But for '88 and below, BJ's is top notch goods for flex tracks.

Ours are not the cheapie universals, they are the OEM ones and we have had really good luck with them:
