The above link has double channel that I think would work.

Hi
I have 4 sets of sliding windows none of them are made the same way. Some have folded edge lint the ones shown on my web page. The others have added steel strip at top and bottom. If you can get the wider (1/4 type) to fit in the channel then the panels will actually slide one handed. Channels I have are a tight fit and it takes both hands to slide the plates, so what ever position they are in at the start of the drive is how they stay until I stop, turn in my seat and can use both hands. Which when you are driving in a convoy and starts raining means the back of your neck can get really wet. Cheers Phil

I checked my panels while looking up the channel specs. My panels are 1/8" thick but then have 1/8" strips added to one side along the top and bottom edges. However as Phil says there is variations
The other thought I had was if you used the Speanur stuff is to make a 4mm spacer for the window frame.

I had to completely rebuild the back of my F30 cab.
A friend loaned me a Chev rear window frame and slide in good condition for a pattern so I made 2 slides and 2 frames 1 to weld into the back of the cab and 1 to bolt on over the track. I couldn't find any suitable track( all available stuff was too wide) so I fitted some single track over each of the slides and fitted a flat division between the two halves of the frame. That gave me two steel tracks. I works very well but unfortunately does not look original. A bonus was that I could drill some drain holes to the outside. Most rear windows I have seen have rusted badly because the rain gets between the track and the steel frame. The frames were a bit tricky to make out of "Z" shape panel steel I had folded up. Some old diff carrier bearing cups were the exact radius of the frame corners and made a great welding jig. Cheers, Terry

Agree with Tony, but can't figure out which would be cheaper ship the truck out to Terry or fly Terry to my shop. Either way impressed with the component fabrication. Cheers
