Default 68 window rattle kit

Is there a kit or method for 68s to reduce the rattles in the doors. I cannot find one for 68s.69s yes 68s no. Does anyone have any ideas or experience on how to correct 68 door rattles. Can I use the window felts used on the 69 with some modifications ? Thanks

Part of the problem could be the glass hardware, regulator rollers or the window felts. You can get the glass hardware kits that's not an issue, the rollers are available too.

The 68 cars didn't use the door glass adjuster pads like the 69 cars and I know no way to modify the door to install them. 1968 used the actual long inner felt to adjust tension on the door glass. So the solution might be to replace both the inner and outer door felts with the correct parts. You can buy just the felts or you can get the complete inner (expensive).

If the car was in my shop, I'd pull the glass out and see why it was rattling.... IMHO,

My 6t8 is a January build. The window seals and felts are 68 only. Replacing the window rollers is usually required on a 50 year old car. T
