I can't seem to find a source to get replacement window channel for my 72 Elky. I've searched all the catalogs and web sites I can think of. Everbody has door weather stripping but not the window u-channel.

Try JC Whitney ( I hear some people laughing). I bought some window channel for my inlaws 51 Shoebox Ford from them.

Are you talking about the glass channel?

I was gonna buy mine from JC Whitney, but Philip pointed me to OPG. I think I payed around $20 for the channel kit to do two El Camino doors. It fits well and looks good.
If you need a part number, I can get it for you when I get home from work on Wednesday. Otherwise I would recommend just calling OPG and telling the sales rep what you need.
You can also get it from JC Whitney for around $10, but I don't know if the quality is as good.
