Default Window Channel/felt

OK I am not a newbee. I have never installed the side window channel and felt
on a Mid year. I have a 1966 Coupe. My question, and we will see if other than
3 or 4 guys know enough about mid years to respond.

My question ...Who sells the best product, Zip/Long Is Corvette or CC,
anyone else that makes a top shelf reproduction???

Thank you very much .I came to this Forum first ,with the question.

I bought mine from Long Island Corvettes (now defunct) I think Paragon bought their inventory - just a thought. Often the window channel mounting "buttons" don't line up with the door holes.... sometimes you have to move them a bit.

After aligning them a 3/8" ratchet extension can be used to push the buttons into place with a light tap from a hammer.
