window channel

I am looking for the metal door U channel that holds the U shaped weatherstripping. (5/8" wide steel channel)

I have removed the vent window & need to run the window channel above the belt line in the door to give the window additional support, thus it needs to be longer than stock.

Anyone know of a source?

Thanks Don

window channel

On my build I used drywall stud half track its 5/8" gal channel and I made all the window tracks from it. I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of it in my doors on my build.
