Question tinting our windows

Hi all,I was wondering if there's replacement channel for our windows.I'd like to completely remove the windows,tint them,and replace them back in their frames.The rubber or plastic seals on the outside have shrunk over the years and are creeping up the corners.I'd like to completely refurbish all the seals,so our windows will be like new again.I can do the work myself,I need the window channel.Thanks!! Dan

Not right now,but I need all the channels and weatherstripping that would be on a factory window.Basically,I want to refurbish the entire window so it's like it just came from the factory.Hope this answer helps.Our trailer is at a permanent campsite 30 miles away.I could get pics of the windows and post them if it'd help.It'll take a few days.Thanks for your interest.Dan

Looks like you have a 71 Excella,those parts you need may be available at a professional glass shop. I did. It's a lot of fun pulling those windows apart. Do a search here for more info on what to do.
