>Mark, this is a pretty generic item. J.C. Whitney carries push-in rubber window channel for $13.99 + shipping for an 8' length, which should be enough to do one door. You need to measure the channel width and depth and match up the closest rubber channel. I forget the size I used in my car, but it's a perfect fit. Here's the JCW page:

I've used JCW's flocked window channel before -- in another Spirit about 15 years ago.  I measured and stuff but the channel I received was so loose in the doorframe (right width but the "ears" on the side of the channel were too short for a snug fit) that it would slide as the window was rolled up & down.  It also never looked right.  But most important, I can't stand wind noise.

I might try them again if nothing used in good shape turns up.  We'll see.
