    2 door run channels?

    Are there any run channels available for these cars or any substitutions?

    I'd believe the Metro WC3396 linked in the sticky weatherstrip thread will fit a tudor aswell. They come in 96" pieces. Better check the required length anyways.
    I wasn't particularly impressed with the fit, but most people are happy with them, in light of no known alternatives.

      I have used and am very happy with the fit an finish of the WC33-96. It fits the channel really well...a bit snugger along the vent window channel but a great alternative to old dried out rubber.

        You used them on a 2 door? And where did you buy them from? Did you have to cut them to length or are they good to go?

                  Yeah I believe it. I just pulled some doors from a 1984 car in Huntsville Alabama and the runs channels were beyond toast. Additionally, the tinted windows adhesive melted into the degrading run channel and became one. lol Had to break the seal before the window motors could operate the windows.

                    Are 2 96" peices needed?

                        Yes. At least for mine with vent windows. Unsure of full window vehicles.

                          Yes, one is enough for one door. Should be enough for tudors, dunno if the vent window makes too drastic a difference in overall length.
