The felts that are attached to the upper door trim? You can still buy new door trim from Hawks and F-Body Motor Sports. I'm talking about the trim piece that covers the top of the door on the inside and is attached to the door panel. The outer window sweep also has felt I believe. You can still get new ones from GM as well as aftermarket ones. So far I have been able to buy everything that gos on or in the door either new from GM or aftermarket.

Dew Wipers.

Ebay is one place to look, plus the other sites mentioned above. Year One Next gen also has them I believe.

Good Luck.

I think he's talking about the slotted metal brackets with the felt pads on them that bolt to the top of the inner door (under the door panel). They guide the window, unlike the weatherstrip that just seals the window.

Classic Industries sells them in their catalog (or check their website). They call them "Window Guide Stabilizers" PN# is G1201 and they're $9.49 each (2 per door). I was going to order them but they were out of stock and I found some nice used ones in the meantime.
