I have a new set of "Repop's" brand glass run channels for a 65-66 B Body 2 door sedans. So I think I'm at least off to a good start.
Wondering what I'll need for the sweeps (outside lower edge) and the fuzzies (inside, stapled to the door panel inside top edges) on my 65? Are Chev and Pontiac the same in this body style?
Anyone ever redo these?
Any thoughts or knowledge on this subject greatly appreciated.

I'll try to get into the books tomorrow and check between the 2 brands to see if they are the same. I have redone fuzzies but only a hardtop, never a sedan. There's a thread on that if a hardtop installation thread helps you at all-
Watch out for the channels as the repops are not close to factory thickness . I had nothing but issues with the repops on a 65 2 dr post Biscayne I had awhile back . Too tight and the glass would hardly roll up or down . I wish I never removed the original channels .
It certainly is one of those jobs that you don't want to tackle if you're not having a "patient" type of day.
Tom, the CP member who bought my black 66 that I did this on, seldom shows up here but if he does I'd like to ask him how those pieces have held up on the car. I did it 7 years ago so it would be nice to see if it's worked out. Getting all the clips to fit and the tensions just right was a lesson in endurance, exactly as Howard stated. And as you see in my pictures the lengths needed some adjustments as well.
