Update. I talked with Restoration Specialties, and Steele They're not really interested in making a run with the correct color.
Restoration Specialties sent me another set of samples. Their profile is very close to the original and they have gray, brown and black. The attached pics are of the samples they sent as well as what I got from Jim Carter. I also talked with Jim Carter's General Manager, and he said they had basically no complaints about their windlace and looked up how many returns they had of the windlace and it was very few.
Anyway, the pics show the samples in the windlace track on my truck, recently painted on the interior. Top is the original windlace, followed by Jim Carter's product, then the three colors from Restoration Specialties. The gray one is actually a bit of a loose fit, while the others are relatively snug in the channel. Note the position of the bulb on Jim Carter's windlace - it's further from where the door would be as well as farther from the channel which will likely cause more tendency to pucker as it turns the corners of the door opening.
Also Restoration Specialties sent me a catalog of their offerings, and they have a ton of small items, from window channels, weatherstrip, windlace to clips for trim and brake lines, and other fasteners, etc. If anyone is looking for bits for their restoration that they're having trouble finding, I'd recommend
Restoration Specialties.. I talked with Jeff, the owner, and he was very helpful.
