Is the an alternative to the crappy window channel felt in the door windows? Can I use or get rubber from somewhere?

Genine is available from Suzuki. Can't remember how much they were sorry. I got the felt anti rattle strip and scraper seal at the same time too.
No rattles, no leaks, windows go up & down with ease too
Oh, and if you're having trouble winding the windows up and you old channels look OK try some silicon lube in there.

as said you can get it genuine for about $70 per side or a/f for $35 per side..
better yet you can go to your local clark rubber/ auto hardware and grab it for around $6 per metre.

they would probably charge about the same, bloody wreckers, luckily Suzi surf chick has kindly provided one for just under 30 bucks with freight, just waiting on netbanking to get set up so i can finally wind up and down my windows again..
