So, I am a little perplexed on the division window channel.
When I pulled it apart, there was only a window channel in top area (yellow line). One side had a stainless beaded channel, and the other side had only a plain rubber channel. Both, I am sure, were later replacements as there were not affixed in any way. Just wedged in there. There are holes for rivets or screws, which were not used.
The steel channel (orange line) had no channel in place. But there are two screw shafts holding it to the stainless structure. The heads of those fasteners appear to have been sheared off. So I wonder if there was an original channel in there that was removed, which sheared the heads off.
I can't imagine there wouldn't have been a felt or fussy channel in that area as that edge of the glass would be exposed when rolled down.
The top part measure approx 9/16 in width, and the bottom portion approx 1/2 in width.
Checking Steele Rubber's website, they list this:https://www.steelerubber.com/rigid-run-channel-30-0245-57
Which is 9/16" wide and 30" long. Sold in pairs.
So given that, is the lower section (orange) just remnants of an old channel that should be removed? And the Steele Rubber goes from the top to the very bottom? (red line).
If anyone with a 37 115c, 37 120c or 36 120b convertible couple can shed some light, I would appreciate it, as I need to order something soon.
