When I got if off the glass and the old setting tape off I noticed the channel had split and could not be reused. I have two questions, the first being, what is this metal channel called. The second question is where can I get a replacement? It is an unusual piece because the top part of this piece has a channel that the glass is inserted into and the underside has a track with a groove that the window regulator arm ball runs in that is curved. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully I will provide some help and at least give you a bump.
I've never worked on a 35, but someone here has and hopefully will help you out. One the vehicles I have worked on, the channel that holds the glass is what you said, "window metal channel". It has a rubber sealing strip that goes on the bottom of your glass and sets into the metal channel.
I'm gonna be no help on where to get one except to check with vendors for repros or used.
Chevy of the 40's, The Filling Station, or others out there may help you out.
Good luck!

Thanks for confirming the name of the part. This week I am going to call around the parts places listed in Hemmings and see what I can come up with. Worse comes to worse, I will see about some used ones but I fear they would be just like mine.
Thanks again for answering my call! | | |
