Window glass run
I believe it is called the window glass run channel.
You can get it either with or without the chrome / stainless bead. Civilian trucks had the chrome bead, military ones didn't. I used the chrome bead version on my VC 3 as it is early 1940.
The repro channel is fine, but the spring catches they sell with it are useless, don't even bother. I just install everything loosely, with the window about half way up, then coat the whole of the top surface of the window run channel, plus as much of the side as I can get to, with adhesive.
Run the window fully up, pushing the channel into place. Let it dry, and then the window should run up and down OK.
You need six lengths for the Carryall, and you have to shorten all six, some more than others. Don't forget to put a putty channel in the bottom of the four rear window boxes to duct the water down to the drain hole, and extend the drain hose down to chassis level so it isn't running water down into the Carryall double outer skin ( as the cheapskate originals did)
