Window channel

This is a 67 F85 two door post car. This is the channel in the B piller. Is this available new or do I have to replace the channel with aftermarket stuff and make it work?

Hello:
If you find out, please let me know. My 66 Cutlass is in the same stage of resto as yours. DO NOT remove the top fuzzy that the window rolls up into, the one that goes from the B pillar that is curved and drops into well area. I assumed it was a piece of weatherstrip that had hardened, then I found it was a THIN aluminum channel after I tore it out. It took me almost a year to find a suitable
replacement in a salvage yard.
Thanks, Ron

Mr.66
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I will contact them today. You guys here have been invaluable and unselfish w/ your information and help in the restoration of my 66 Cutlass. There is NO way I could have gotten it this far or to level it is at without your help. If I list names, I will surely forget someone, I hope you remember who you are. I am sure I will need your help again. If we ever get to meet, I owe you a dinner or drink.
Thanks, Ron
