If you're indeed looking for the felt-lined (flocked) rubber window run channel -- the part that seals around door windows once they are raised to the fully up/closed position, I have a source for you. I bought some for my coupe about a year ago, and it's just about as perfect a replacement as we can expect to get, I think. Seals the door windows very nicely when the windows are rolled up and fits the metal window frame in the door just like it was made for it.
The channel is available from Restoration Specialties, Windber, PA:
http://stores.restorationspecialties.com
...and their part number is AS1528. Just enter the part number into the search box on their web site. It's 96" long, and you'll need to get two, one for each door. You'll end up with a few inches to spare from each length once you're done. They are $16.00 each -- a nice price.
Note that, since the coupe has a hard corner at the upper-rear corner of each window frame, you'll need to measure and cut the window run channel and butt two lengths together at that spot. Make sure to run the channel down into the door at the front and back to nearly the bottom of the frame, which extends down into the door. This means you'll need to peel back the plastic-sheet moisture barrier on the inside of the door (under the inner trim panel) if you still have it, and then glue the moisture barrier back into place when you're done installing the window run channel.
Best of luck!
