Source for new Window Run Channel? 200 1986

Car I just picked up is missing the channel that the window fits into on the driver's door. Does anyone know of a source for new channel that I can install?

    Have you tried your local PNP? They're actually in really good shape.

      Yes I would try the PnP

      You might consider getting the whole complete door as it is cheaper to go that route than piece mealing it out at the counter.
      That part could cost a few dollars to $15 depending on how they feel to price it at the time. The window glass regulators go for $15 with out the glass and somtimes more if it is electric.

      I get a whole door from 25 to 45 dollars depending on whether it manual or electric and if it's a half off Tool Kit Rewards day or not.
      I have four complete electric doors that do not match any color car I have but for less than $100, they are in reserve for anything else but the color of silver.
      The Paint is not so hard to store, room wise. (:-)

        Got one in really nice shape at Voluparts.com. They are a really good resource for used parts, even if not listed on website.

          Also, Dave Barton has the door window scrapers. As these window scrapers age, they crack and can let water in inside the door. Which in turn can help create the prevalent 240 "corner door rust pocket".

          I'm glad I'm not the only who took the "buy the whole door mentality" at the PNP. If doing so, make sure to grab and attach the hinge plate to said door. Suddenly, door hinges and the master switch for the power windows (driver's side door) have become more expensive at the PNP's....
