Default Window channel run

Anyone know of a vendor/supplier that has the correct 1/2" front window
channel run for a 66 convertible. I have received and sent back
3 sets from different vendors who have sent a 7/16" channel that
doesn't fit very well. Any suggestions.

Greg I went through the same problem. I think the one I ended up using came from LIC's. It fit ok,but not perfect. I had to drill a very small hole at the very top of the channel and put in a small self tapping screw through the channel and into the vent window frame. This was the only way I could the top of the channel to fit flush. It actually turned out pretty decent. Maybe somebody else will chime in with a better solution.
