'78 rear slider window question

Hey all.......

I have a '78 pickup with an original factory sliding rear window. Does anyone know where to buy the "fuzzy" stuff that goes in the tracks top and bottom where the center glass slides? Mine's all rotten from age.

Thanks,

Mine too Darwin,
I was told it is probably better to change the whole window.

13MWZ...I checked LMC online,but nothing.I have ordered their paper catalog,so when it arrives, I'll have a look.

1976Ranger...I will try there this weekend...Thanks

Mil1ion....Yeah,I guess I could do that,but I would like to try and keep the original window if possible. I also have a factory Ford canopy for my truck and ,being that the canopy front slider is the same as the truck one, it needs doing too.

Thanks again,guys for the responses

National Parts Depot has a real good supply of things like cat whiskers and felts for the windows at a good price. However, the shipping to Canada is not the best since it is the Flordia and North Carolina depots that handle the ford trucks parts. And only the Michigan depot ships to Canada. So you have to do a little talking with the manger to see what they can do about it. i set up an American mailbox so i wouldn't have to go through it. But its not always practical. However, the catalog is free and is very descriptive. Gives you an idea of what is out there.
