Folks.
The Beltline is bettter referred to as the slit in the door/quarters where the glass comes up.
The proper name for "fuzzies", also called Window Wipes, Window Sweeps, Dew Wipes, and others is
Beltline Molding or Beltline Weatherstripping.
The "Rubber thing" that the glass sits in is called Sash Channel Filler Strip. There is rubber polymer and Cork/Rubber Composition. Steele sells it in 1/16 and 1/32" thicknesses, 1.5 inches wide.
The "steel thing" that holds the Sash Channel Filler Strip and the Glass is called the Window Sash Channel. The Sash mounts on top of the regulator.
The Strip of Rubber that goes up the A pillar, across the Roof Line and Back down the C or Sail Pillar is called the Roof Rail Weatherstrip.
The Rubber seal above the Door lock Striker that the quarter window rolls up thru (on a Hardtop) is called a Lock Pillar Filler.
4 Dr Hardtops also have lock Pillar Fillers, on the front or rear doors, or both depending on the model.
