Bailey channel

In my loosing battle trying to reinstall my 1/4 window frames I discovered that the Bailey channel rubber I had was too short to fit my doors so I purchased another 1 from Rares & it's different. It's too small, won't stay in the channel.
The larger ones I've got I've had for a couple of years.
I've emailed Rare Spares, just wondering if anyone else has seen this, or am I just the lucky one...

Hi.. Yes i got the smaller ones in the LC LJ bag.... they were too small.. Ian from SA rares spotted it before I left the shop.. seems they bagged the wrong ones.....
Mike, Rare Spares have told me the small channel is correct & have sent me a new set. Which is great service

Somethings changed somewhere. Not sure if it's me or it's because every step you take forward you go back 2.
If some Cunning Stunt made me a sensible offer I'd flick it at the moment.

So the Bailey channel has to be glued into the door. I wasn't aware of that, so it appears the small rubber is correct. Just need to glue it into position.
There you go.
Yes it should be glued in (contact cement is fine) however the bailey channel should hold itself in the door channels without glue.

I replaced my worn out bailey channel with bailey from Betta and it was a perfect fit.No need for glue at all

Use black weather strip adhesive especially made for the job 3m does a good one but I am sure other brands are much the same.

MMMMM.. Just checked mine again.. it fits and sits very well... No need for glue,, But I will use a drop or two just to be sure.....
I think they are telling u lies.. Mine are the larger ones and fit very well....
And yes..These cars can ans will be a head f%^$k.... I seem to do things 2- 3 times to get right.. I have 2 of everything just in case I damage one fitting.. IE rear quarter outer mouldings.. head ache to get right...

I suggested that to the retailer, but it was Rare Spares telling him, so I guess it's how their product is.I think they are telling u lies...
The parts book shows 3 separate pieces, so I'm assuming we need to cut these to length? Which is what I had previously done, but now I've got a new set I'd like to make sure.
I also might give Betta a look too
Cheers.
Edit. I was also advised by them to use the Loctite glue that's supplied with the rubber kit to glue the Bailey channel into the door

So the Bailey channel Rares supply isn't long enough to go the full length of the window runners. Is this a problem?
The runners seemed to be crimped in slightly at the ends, I assume to help hold the channel in, but the channel isn't long enough when you cut it up into 3 pieces - top, front & rear.
#@$^%& if I know. Buy yet another one so we have enough I suppose

Will each vertical piece end up about an inch short?
