Tailgate glass channel guides

[Edahall]

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.
