Hi all, I need the front window runners (channels or whatever you call it, the glass slides in it with the felt). It has become too loud in my car. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it is a four door.
I cannot find anyone that sells an OEM fit. I have seen JC Whitney site but it has like 15 different measurements. COuld anyone please tell me which window channels I need?
I only the ones that face the door jamb. Not the top or the one by the windshield, just the back one I guess you could say.
BTW I am new to forum, I am an old car fanatic. I have a 1977 Ford F150 I bought 10 years ago for $800, and a 1979 Olds Regency 98 I bought three years ago for $450 (With 64K original miles!) It was sitting in a parking lot broke down for 5 years so it has some rotting going on. But I want to keep it! I have $2000 in it and she drives like a dream with cold AC, pwr seats, pwr windows, pwr steering, pwr brakes. It originally had a diesel, but the owner put a 1980 307c.i. in it after the diesel failed. It was a dealer swap I am told.
**ANYWAY** I need these window runners so I can talk on the phone in my car without having to yell, and say WHAT?? WHAT??? because of all the wind noise.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello! Buick Electra,Chevy Caprice/Impala,Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina,And Olds 88 Royal Window runners WILL fit your Ninety Eight front doors,I replaced my front doors on a 1983 Olds 88,With front doors off an Olds Ninety Eight (Rear doors will not interchange),As the bodies are different.If I were you,I would visit some junk yards in your area.Maby you can find some decent doors to remove the parts that you need.Cause you have many models to choose from.I think you can go up to model year 1984,And parts will interchange.Take some measurements,Write them on paper and take them with you when you go shopping.Let me know what you come up with..Have a good day!!
