Default Window track fuzzies/weather strip

I bought some replacement weather strip that goes in the front of the side window channel. Got it from Ames, pretty much totally different than OEM but looks like it might work well.

However, this window channel, part of the vent window post/support has a metal channel rivetted in on the lower half where it is inside the door. This replacement weather strip is not going to fit into that ... must it be removed?

The OEM setup appears to have been two pieces, one metal backed rubber that fit into the channel above the door, and this larger metal channel that held the "fuzzies" inside the door.

This replacement is long enough to go from top to bottom ... but not unless the OEM channel is removed. Should it be glued in? It fits pretty snug in the channel (in the area is can go without removing the OEM metal channel) and has the location for the anchor screw at the top.

Any advice?

Thanks

Ok, The replacement fits -67 F-body and -68 A-body. For -68 A-body You need to cut it for proper lenght.

Where can I get the inner and out quarter window sweeps for my 68 GTO? I'm not seeing them in our Host's catalog.

The inner one that attaches to the inner quarter panel "door" panel.

The outer one that attaches to the body ... as seen in photo below.

Thanks.

I believe they are called rear quarter window chrome sash channels and you can order them from Ame's performance or OPGI.

GT119A from Repops.

Complete set of inner and outer fuzzies,
The rears need a little manipulating to fit right. I found it best to lay it against the original to make the bends

Buy them from eBay seller calponres who has the best price.
