Working on the interior of my 1984 K5 Blazer and had a question about the front door window channel run. Though my K5 is a 1984, I suspect the doors are earlier. The glass is thicker and I pulled out the 2-piece version of the channel run. Last month I ordered the single piece channel run from LMC thinking I had 1984 doors, and now installed, the windows are very heavy to operate. I've lubed the run with silicone. I've let the windows sit for a week now. Disconnected from the regulators, I have all I can do to manually slide the windows up and down.

Is my problem that I ordered the wrong channel run? Seems earlier doors had thicker glass...and thus perhaps a wider channel run? Before I order the 2 piece seals I just wanted to check here first for suggestions.

Random question....does anybody make an aftermarket K5 center console latch? Or do you need to find a beater center console and salvage the OEM latch?

Thanks in advance.
