Source for window channel and front door seals

Got my car back from the body shop this summer and the triangle shaped front window seals were missing. The car is an 83' Camaro, I tried using 87' pieces where the window channel and front window seals are one piece but they won't fit without modification. According to Hawks 82'-83' are different parts. It appears the channel is still in the door but the window seals mount separately? Can't find an 82'-83' in the junkyard around here so does anyone know of a source for these parts? I'm located in San Antonio TX right now. Will also post in Parts WTB., Thanks.

The small seals are just part of what I need. Those are the same on 82-92. The larger triangular parts that mount to the door are specific to 82-83. I already have new small seals that I haven't installed.

Re: Source for window channel and front door seals

So HOW did the body shop "miss place" your window channels? I'd be after them to find or replace them.

I agree with Sonjabb

You can use the 87 triangle but you need to swap out the track also.

Re: Source for window channel and front door seals

Denny got back to me and said to replace the whole assembly with the 87' part. I will remove the channel in the door and try to put in the newer stuff. The body guy in El Paso left his shop so I got a call to come pickup my car and parts. Mostly the weather stripping was off and the roof rails. The body work was good but the car didn't get painted. I took it here and got the paint on it, put on new weather stripping, and now just have aggravating crap like this to finish.
