Whoops...
He is looking for the window run channels not the dew wipes, those you can still get through Steele Products but the channels you can't.
Doh! Sorry!!!
Hopefully have some better information here.
As you all know, JC Whitney sells universal weatherstripping (usually SofSeal brand, pretty good stuff). I've got a lot of it on the convertible since it's all custom.
I used a Ranger window run (with vent windows) in the convertible. Worked VERY well. At the time I don't recall there being a non-vent window run available but now there is.

I am not guaranteeing that they'll be a perfect fit for a stock application. All I know is that the vent window Ranger run fit my car beautifully.
Actual measurements of a 1983-86 Cougar/T-Bird window run:
Bottom flat part - 3/4"
One side - 11/16"
Other side - 15/16"
Inside gap - 3/16" to 7/32"
I can't say for sure if one side needs to be longer than the other.
Hey Eric, you really live for these Cat's! Thanks for your efforts.
You helped me quite a few times.
I knew there was a reason we kept him around :D
