Step by step with pictures of how to install new window channel felt in the doors of a 73 FJ55 with vent windows.
Also, there will be product numbers and a vendor link.
Let's start with the products I used. (i used 4 different products)
The main channels were from BD Company in Denver. I used the WEA/75000636 and WEA/75000566.
B-D Company | Serving the automotive aftermarket industry since 1957.
I used the deeper 566 channel in the main doors, and the shorter 636 in the removable fixed window track(rear door) and vent window track(front door)
You could just use one or the other, they both fit and function the same, difference is really in appearance.
This is the 566 in the vent window track, note it extends 1/4 inch out of the channel
and the 636 in the vent channel, only extends 1/8 inch, and looks cleaner, in my opinion.
These products work well, but are not a perfect fit, and required some modification on each door. I will address these as we go.
