1959 MEL door glass verticle anti rattle
 

This goes in the door in the rear window channel. Mine are all worn out, and the driver's side is broken. Does any one know if other year/make/model inserts would fit my 1959 Mercury Monterey? If not, I'll have to fabricate/refurbish/reuse the ones I have.

Try https://www.restorationspecialties.com/. They’ve got a pretty good selection of that sort of window pieces. Good quality stuff in my experience.

Thanks for the link. It looks like they might have some things I need.

I'll take measurements tomorrow, but that looks like the right stuff. Thanks for the lead.

You can buy a similar strip, and glue it on from Snyders Antique Auto Parts, New Springfield, Ohio. Model-A uses about the same thing. No metal edge on it though. The lengths are cut to fit, but I doubt you ever would.

I just clean the surface, apply the glue, and slip them in place. The roll the window up for a few days with some posterboard from the dime store between the window and the strip.

The one that goes on the vent-a-payne is a whole other kettle of fish.

BTW, JC Whitney used to sell the ones you have now. I have no idea if they, or Warshowski are still in business.

You can always use the soft fuzzy side of velco to glue/staple into place and you will be set.

Re: 1959 MEL door glass verticle anti rattle
 

Thanks to all. I think I'll start with the Velcro suggestion. Seems that since the fuzzy part is what is worn out, so I should be able to just re-apply and no more rattle. We'll see how it goes.

I have used the Velcro thing for years. Tedious but worth the effort! I started doing it before all the re-poped stuff was out there. Now I just go with it when doing a resto.
