Door window channel run and belts (1 Viewer)

[FJ62 Jose]

Guys/Gals,

Hate asking this but what is the best place to buy door window channel run? I have an FJ62 with manual window cranks. I need all 4 doors. Very likely buying the inner and putter window belts or whatever they are called.

The are brittle and kink, no matter how much I lubricate them, the fall into the door, kink with the windows when rolling down.
