    Sourcing window channel locally

    Hello from Brisbane - on a coldish, wet, lockdown day........

    I have decided to get my truck professionally repainted and have just gone through the process of stripping the door tops and roof back and pulling the channels back out. The channels are no better or worse than when I replaced them about three years ago but I'm inclined to toss them and start afresh with new material. Preferably something better than I received from an order from the UK.

    My question is - what is the best locally available option for replacing the window channels in both the door tops and rear cab? I'm looking for something that is more durable and less prone to breaking down than the steel/rubber/felt arrangement that I was offered last time around. I have heard some suggestions of possibly using the stuff for caravans and/or boats but have no experience with that.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,

    Neil

    Neil , I bought mine for the 80" from the Rubber Shop 350 South Pine Rd Brendale (07) 32054433 but you should ring them 1st to make sure they are there & still stock barley channel . It is about 5 years since I got mine & they were not always at the shop. They also had a couple of types , a solid type that could not be bent & a flexible type that could be bent . Would be best if you had a sample to take to make sure you get the correct one . I had a length about 2.5 m of the solid one but have not seen it for awhile so not sure what i have done with it .Wayne

    If they don’t have that, maybe they have rice channel for the Asian cars.
