Default Window problems 30 Coupe

Replacing glass on the passenger side of a 30 standard coupe. One of the tracks is missing. Any ideas where I can find one? New or used are both acceptable. Anxious to get this done.

The usual Model A parts suppliers carry them new.

Brattons and Mikes-affordable sell a kit for 30/31 coupe.
https://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A45983B.html
https://www.brattons.com/30-31-coupe...annel-kit.html

Windows will roll up & down much easier and rattle less with a new channel verses an old channel which will be worn.

I am not part of a club. That’s why I am looking to find a place or person who will sell me one.

A club can be a tremendous resource. After I joined, it turned out that I live about 4 miles from a guy who has abundant Model A knowledge, tools, and spare parts. He has saved my bacon more than once.

Are you speaking of a missing metal channel or the felt channel that fits therein?
Brattons sells felt channel for $20 a run
Doubt you’ll stir someone for less!

Sets in up and down

It can be made on a metal break
