What is the name of the fuzzy strip my windows slide on?

1972 Trail Mite. I need to repair my two side windows, the glass ones. They slide back and forth to open. I've found videos on reglazing the outside black strip. How to install them. How to fix the screens. But not how to replace that fuzzy strip. And I think part of the issue is I don't know what that's called. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, any chance I could buy new replacement windows?

It is window channel or glass run channel. CR Laurence is one supplier. The problem is that there are many different sizes. I think they may have a sample ring you can buy. You may have to trim what you get to fit. Also check at Steele Rubber products and DK Hardware.

Historically, old timers called this a 'window whisker. If you were to find someone who has NOS body stuff, that may be what it is called.
