What is the name/part number of the felt like material that wipes the window?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find replacements for my 67 442 post car. I don't know much about the classic car builds and terminology yet.

The black felt like material on the door that wipes the window when its rolled up and down is showing its age and isn't very appealing. I'm looking to replace it on the main doors and the post rear windows, but I don't know what the name of the part is or where I can find replacements to purchase.

Can anyone give me the name so I can find it on Original Parts Group or one of the other site. If you you can find me a direct link to the replacement parts I would appreciate it a lot.

Also, are these difficult to replace?

Thanks for your time.

Outers were easier (screws), inners are harder (stapled).
Not that bad if you have a plan though. We can walk you through it!

They're also called cat whiskers.
Very unfortunate cat's whiskers.
The weatherstrip companies hire bums to dig them out of restaurant dumpsters in China.

Fusick has window channel kits and the various weatherstrips and seals; catalog 44c, pages 65-67. They now have catalog 45c online to download; see pp. 66-68. You can download the catalog from their website, www.fusick.com

depends on whether you're replacing just the bottom seals or all the tracks too. repost when you get ready to start and I'll try to provide some tips.
