M-5 U-Channel

[Commander Eddie]

I think the "U" channel in most all Studes is held at each end with a channel clip, and glued--liquid nails works--betwixt.

I concur. I put new channels in my '50 Commander (all 4 doors) and that is how they were held in. That seems to work just fine. Use a good adhesive that is made to hold automotive trip. I bought a 3M product from my local auto parts store. SI also sells a good product for this purpose.

This has probably been asked and answered a dozen times sorry. What holds the u-channel in place in a M-5 door? The only clips I see is the U-channel clip half way down on the inside of door, and a small nail/tack at the other end close to the vent window. Is it the inside window frame or do I glue it? Also why so many window run clips. A rubber kit has 20 clips Is that 5 per cat whisker? Thanks Michaelb
