I saw three sents of CC correct repos last week at Tracy's, - minus 1, mine.

if I don't want to wait.

Keep in mind, all the others are getting them from CC and the local suppliers. In the case of the CC shortage, its on the production floor, just a matter of time and C2's drive robust demand this time of the year.

I got my window channels from Zip today and the install went pretty well. They do have the square outer bead, so that answers that question. I am still having difficulty with the very last bubble clip just before you reach the "tail channel", but will get it eventually. The big tip of the day was sectioning out the top hole of the rear channel. I did this and it slid right in which allowed the bubble clip in the center of the "tail" to pop right in. I also went to the trouble of putting the little screw at the bottom. I still don't have the window glass back in, but I don't anticipate any issues.

Garry,

I’ve yet to install my driver’s side channel, but you just gave me the idea of pre-measuring the width of all the bubble clips and squeezing down any wider ones with pliers to make them the same width as the mean of the lowest three or four. I remember from doing my passenger’s side door channel that one bubble clip just did’t want to snap into place, and I bet it was the widest one.

I remember one person suggesting to grease the holes where the bubble clips snap into, but frankly I don’t imagine that will help much.
