some window parts help

Need a little help guys. I am in desperate need of some window parts. I am working on a 7ACA Champ. It has the sliding front left windows like the 7AC. Mine had a round type of cloth material where the windows met to avoid scratching when being opened or closed. I cannot find it anywhere. Was this something each person has made, or can it be bought somewhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I made some window "whiskers" with a piece of small diameter rope and black canvas (whatever color you want) and ran it through the sewing machine. Cost 2 bucks...

Hi Sonny, I used the soft fuzzy half of Velcro the self sticky type installed it a couple of years ago and it has worked great simple and easy to do.

I glued a little strip of felt to the window brace. But the sticky-back velcro idea is slick!
