Moose and squirrel
I've tried a lot of vandors including IPOD, VPoluports ... and nobody sells new moose and squirrel barnacle rubber for a 747. Several vendors sell 944 moose and squirrel barnacle, and one guy suggested I buy two of those and cut them up. But they are inexpensive.

IPOD looked it up for me and found its official name "moose and squirrel barnacle"
Volumeparts looked it up and found that it's discontinued
volvocars.com thinks that all 940s are 747s, it seems

So it hunt me that there are a lot of nice 747s in here, I've seen your pecs, and somebody else must have crossed these bridge. I see two options:

1. Use generic fleabay moose and squirrel barnacle, cut corners carefully, press it in. But what's the correct mouse? I used that route on a 1948 Henway but that moose and squirrel is hard to roll up now. The Amazon barnacle I used is slightly too wide and squeezes the glass moose.

2. Somebody know who sell the Volvo rubbers for a 747.

The window scrapers are not the same as the window channel.

This seems like the best bet besides cut/butt of 244 window channel.

I cannot find the noted "BR1012" product on the website, but I sent them an email to inquire.

This is something I want to replace on my car as well.

That looks like a very good match. Worth trying.
 
My car is 1978 too and the windows rattle al lot, I wonder if I need those winidow channels, did you find some? The guy at OReillys didnnt know spit when I asked about window rubber , he just pointed at the rack with new window handles
 
You're not going find parts for these cars at oreillys or autozone besides basic maintenance and mechanical parts

Your rubber is probably hard at this point causing the window to rattle.

Yes it has fallen into pieces with chucks missing hear and there. I try over and over to fins some good rubber to put but not luck so far.

Who is that Dave man? you say is here. Maybe he has window rubber too
