I've bought the door seals, window sweeps and channels and the seals and sweeps worked like a charm. I'm doing the channels in the spring. The only issue I anticipate there is the rivet that goes through the channel to secure it to the door. I believe all I need to do is drill it out and replace it with another in a slightly different position.  Yes, they are a little pricey, but you can do the installation yourself so once you have the items there really isn't any more expense involved. I want to say the parts actually came from Steele Rubber, but it has been a little while. I guess you have to take consolation from the fact that these items keep water from getting into your car, and we know how bad that is for our particular cars.

I kinda went overboard on mine. NOS doors, NOS hinges & NOS door handles so the $200+ spent on sweeps, channel rubber & seals was not too bad.

KEEP US INFORMED ON THE WINDOW CHANNELS!!
THANKS

I have the channel but mine wont be installed till the doors are ready. Somewhere on here is a thread about riveting the anti-rattle clip to the new channel & installing it
