1990 Suburban V2500 - Cummins diesel - 6sp Manual
The tailgate glass channel guides have seal inserts that are worn out on my Suburban. I checked out several sources but they only sell the the complete glass channels and it's $120 for the pair. Where can I buy just the seals to rebuild my channel guides?
The guides look like the following. I just need the black seal inserts.

There was someone on this forum who relined his channels with velcro (or similar) - have you searched the forum?
My Burb has the same problem but as I only drop the window to open the tailgate it doesn't seem to be a big deal

Have you tried a dealer?

Thanks a lot, I was able to search for the post you were referring to. I think you saved me a bunch of money. Velcro is a great choice of material for this.

Thanks everyone for your help! I ended up buying a rebuilt motor from napa for $99 and took apart and relined the side channels with some 2 inch velcro from Lowes. If anyone is interested in how I rebuilt my channels let me know and I'll take some photos and go into more detail about it.
