Default 1968 Regulator Channel help



I am having trouble locating the small rear door glass channel that connects the window to the rear upright track. This small channel actuates the square shaped slider in the rear upright, it also has a small plastic stop attached. It is labeled # 10 on the Wilcox schematic however, I have been unsuccessful using the part number referenced. I have searched everywhere on the forum and the typical suppliers. Any help in locating the channel for sale is greatly appreciated.

Since this is a 68 only door glass setup, no one to my knowledge has reproduced that part or the outer flat ribbed plate on the outside of the glass. I could be wrong on this about the piece that you are looking for.
Paragon Corvette parts my have a used one. Lou.

That's pretty much the conclusion I have arrived at. However, I have read others with early '69 Vettes have the same regulator design. It can't be all that uncommon of a part considering there are plenty of truly '68 only parts that are reproduced. I have a solid connection with a Corvette guru who happens to have a huge inventory of Vette parts. He checked on the part and said he has several complete sets. Thank God he's also local.
