Where can I get these?

[61BISCAYNE]

I need to replace the door glass lower channels...the piece the glass sits in....
in my 61 two door sedan. mine have almost rusted away.
I haven't found anyone who sells these parts.
I have found them for the hardtops and convertibles, but not the sedan.
Does anyone know if these are being reproduced? Can the hardtop channel
be modified to fit?
Anyone know of a source for good used ones?

If you don't want chrome, just go to most any auto glass shop. Most have this in stock and just cut to your size. A friend just did this on his 62 and just painted it black.

I don't think they would be chrome on the Biscayne. I was in the process of making a new one for a 4 dr Bel Air from the bulk channel and welding my tabs on when I found a NOS one on Ebay. If your tabs are rusted get some used 4 dr channels with good tabs and replace the channels cut to 2 dr length.

4 dr ones are much shorter than a 2 door.

I was referring to using 4 dr channels for parts if the tabs are rusted. Cut the tabs off and weld them on to the new bulk channels.:
