Sorry still not finished paint.
One of the last jobs we had to sort was some replacement bailey channel (window channel elsewhere in world) being the flocked rubber that the windows slide in. Searched the web for hints to no avail so visited a local auto rubber supplier with a bit of searching other stock lines the Volvo window channel is an almost exact match for Holden station wagon tailgate bailey felt. If you need some see
www.betterautorubber.com.au and the product code is BR1012. Cost was AUD $14.70 a metre. We bought 5 metres for the 2 - 242 doors. Here are some pictures including a trial fit and window wind up.
Update 2019
It appears it may have changed part number.
Contact Better Auto rubber and confirm if old part number BR1012 but pretty sure this is new part number but please do research to confirm.

Update 2017 - This has been in use for 2 years now. It would be great if the outer curved section was a mm or 2 longer as you will see in the picture that its is slightly smaller than the original part. Sometimes it may fold into the surround but it can be easily sorted. I have not found a better match yet so can live with the results
Update 31/07/2019
Saw a 242 today that used Holden Commodore VB-VL Bailey channel and a way better fit than the stuff I used and which is pictured below. The windows wound up better as it was not so tight and the person fitting it had done a fantastic job on joining the corners

Below New is the BR1012 and not the VB-VL rubber mentioned in 2019 update
Old and new side by side
Bottom to bottom. When the old is straightened out they are exactly the same width
Pictured as trial fit into metal channel. Fits in very nicely. New on top old on bottom. PS only done for comparison on one of the wreckers. Will replace all on car when it returns
Here it is with window wound up. Width good and no movement/rattle. A little tight but will loosen up with use.
In terms of paint the car has had 4 light coats of silver and has been denibbed/lightly sanded back. Final 3 coats of colour and 3 coats of clear going on this week.
We are also in the process of fixing bottom of both door cards. Will post up pictures of process we intend to use and results.
