Beachcomber Window Seal, Gasket, Channel Replacements

I was trying to find information on how others have repaired or replaced the gaskets, seals, sliders, glass runs, and flocked areas of their windows. It seems this is a challenging thing to do as the items are difficult to source. Not to mention, the terms used to describe each part is specific and hard-to-find.

It seems someone made a website for window gaskets that fit! Here it is: https://www.vintagetrailergaskets.com/

So, I am compiling my research in this thread hopefully people can correct me, provide information or will find it helpful in the future.

Here are all the plastic parts in our windows along with what I think they are called:
1) Fuzzy glass channel, flocked glass run

Potential places to CRL there are a wide variety of sizes click here
and click here

2) CRL Glazing Spline and Channel or Rigid Vynl Uchannel (not sure if that's correct)
Mine is cracked in the picture. As you can see in the first image, it has some slits cut so it can bend around the window. it is the part that the window "sits" in snugly.

Here are the windows, they are multi-channelled aluminum windows. The glass has long ago been replaced with plexiglass which I'm trying to buff the cloudy-ness out of.

Sadly, the "before" pictures before I took all the stuff out aren't very helpful. But I am hoping to make a video explaining how I put everything together IF I am able to source the parts...I also don't have the exact measurements of any of the pieces, hopefully, I can update later with them.

Currently located in Canada, so I'm looking for Canadian sellers if its possible. It seems https://www.crlaurence.ca/ has almost? everything we need and the harder-to-find stuff will be sourced from https://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/ I'll post more links if I find them.

CRL has an online catalogue with photos here https://www.crlaurence.ca/adv/catalo...22/SS22_CA.pdf

Some types of seals, edge trim, are explained here : https://uni-grip.com/resources/desig...the-right-seal

were you able to get everything from a CRL dealer in Canada or find it locally?
The local glass repair shop is able to replace the window seals, but I am having a tough time finding the 1/2: glass run channel (CRL 1/2" x 3/8" Unbeaded Flexible Glass Run Channel).

Sadly CRL is only available to businesses. But I found a local company in Calgary who are really nice and helpful contact campca.ca . They are in Alberta.
