    Trying to re do the window channel on my CJ5s Mayers top. I was able to get one door with some help from Daryl, he had enough material to do one door. However, I am having trouble locating the right window channel to do the other door. After some research and buying what appears to be the wrong stuff I figure I should ask if anybody can point me in the right direction.
    Here is where I am at.

    Original tag from the window channel I recieved from Daryl top number reads I believe V45983VV bottom is 75000011

    Other Side of the tag
    I searched the nets for 75000011 and came across several sites that sell it but all of them you had to become a member and it was just to much of a hassle, so I ordered by measuring the stuff I got from Daryl. At the time I was out of the country so it was a little difficult to call and get exact numbers. I only had pictures of the original tag and not excat meassurments.
    Product Search | Cooper Standard
    one of the sites that offers the 75000011 part number
    The place I got the current stuff is from
    CRL 60" Flexible 5/8" x 1/2" Unbeaded Glass Run Channel for International Diamond-T and Red Trucks

    This stuff doesnt fit very well. It will fit in the door channel but its loose on the glass.

    It doesnt capture the glass very well, the glass is loose in the channel.

    A short chunk I had left over from the stuff I got from Daryl, it fits snugly around the glass.

    New stuff measures 1/4" wide on the inside felt, which is the width of the glass but the felt is not ridget enough to keep the glass from moving inside it.

    The stuff I got from Daryl measures 1/8" between the bristles and it captures the window really well and it keeps it from rattling inside the channel.
    So I started searching around the interent some more and came up with this site that matches the V45983VV number from the original tag. It migth work but it meassures 1/4" (from the website) between the bristles.

    There is also this stuff but it meassures 1/4" on center. This might be the best bet but, dont really want to get it and risk it would be to narrow.

    Also this stuff
    CRL 60" Flexible 9/16" x 17/32" Unbeaded Glass Run Channel for Jeep, Dodge and White Trucks
    and
    CRL Flexible 96" Channel with Pile Liner for 1949-1963 Willys, Jeep and Diamond-T Trucks

    I did some searching on Ecj5 and saw that some people used this channel, which has the same part number as the one I ordered from DK Hardware Supply.
    8A160 - CRL 60" Flexible 5/8" x 1/2" Unbeaded Glass Run Channel for International Diamond-T and Red Trucks

    Any ideas?
