My interest is in locating this material to replace in my existing frames as one window motor could not power against the now swollen strips. Is there any advice on suppliers, perhaps I have missed a reply? It seems Baines does not fit.

Dave the cog.
I used this

Part no 317. Looks and fits the same as the old stuff. I have fitted it to the frame and the window slides OK but haven't fitted the frame to the door yet (too wet outside today). Will let you know how it is aafter fitting.
Cheers, Phil

Confirmed: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10054&hilit=woolies+317

Woolies 317 is the closest match. Not perfect because it's slightly shallower than the original, but very close.

However, Dave - I've never seen any of the flocked channel swell. It ages and breaks, but all the swelling I've seen is caused by rust in the frame itself.

I'll be placing another order for frames sometime before the end of the month. Almost certainly the last because demand has slowed so much. If you think you might need some at any time, get your order in now, please.

I would be interested in a pair, depending on final price at around the £200 mark.
