32 5-window rear window questions

Had the package tray and window mechanism apart for several years for repairs and paint. Does the two wood vertical stanchions have two sheet metal channels that holds the window runs in place? It seems mine did when disassembled but have lost. If there is supposed to be a metal channel for each vertical stanchion, does anyone have dimensions and a picture of how it is located?

Also, it seems. there was a rubber channel piece attached to the body on a piece of metal running the length of the window opening below the window opening. If so, does anyone have a picture and the type of rubber I need to look for?
 
They are wide enough for the felt channel and not quite as tall so they do not touch the glass. About 4" long. Rubber channel at the top for sealing. There may be a rubber wedge shaped rubber block that prevents the regulator arm from touching wood or metal, mounted to the front wood panel. Plus a rubber block in the drain trough so the regulator does not touch metal there.

And the lipped rubber channel that goes between the glass and the horizontal steel channel, the same as with the door glass. There's nothing in the way of weather stripping on the body beneath the window opening.
 
If you mean the horizontal channel that the glass inserts into, United Pacific makes one as part of its 5-window coupe body reproduction project. Like most of their parts, it is available separately ($28 from Speedway Motors).
 
Given that they make complete bodies, I suspect that they offer the vertical channels as well.
