Andy Rob Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Hi - I need to replace the soft liner (felt?) that sits in the channels of the sliding windows in my 110 SW as they have all but rotted away and the windows rattle like crazy. Can anyone help me out with what this stuff is called and where I might get some from please?

western Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hi Andy, Welcome, I used this kit on my 110, a good kit & definitely stopped the glass rattling https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/collections/garrison-outfitters/products/garrison-sw-rear-window-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 At the other end of the price spectrum - I just ordered MUC1005 from Bearmach’s website to do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Rob Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thanks for the replies - I’ll try the cheaper option first and if that doesn’t sort it, I’ll have to bite the bullet and go for the posh kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwards Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Have a look at the woolies trim website - https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ - pretty sure this is where I got mine. I can't remember the cost, but I don't think it was too bad at all. I do remember when I did the job, I wished I'd done it years earlier!

mickeyw Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Having come across this thread I was prompted to take action on my sliding windows. I had previously looked at the Garrison Trim option but baulked at the price. I ordered 2x 1m lengths of 1" x 1/8" felt from Woolies Trim. This is the narrowest they had listed. The remnants of old felt I removed measured approx 20mm (3/4"), so I trimmed the felt to width with a stout pair of scissors. After a considerable amount of cleaning and moss removal from the window track I followed the instructions in the Britanica Restorations video above. It really is as easy as he says. The first window took me maybe 15 minutes, and the second one much less. This very worthwhile improvement has cost me just over £10 (felt (2x£2.50/m) and £5.40 for postage) and took less than an hour to do, including all the cleaning. The LR part would of course have been the correct size material, but is priced around £15 per window. If I'd found some 20mm (3/4") wide felt I'd have saved 10 minutes perhaps, but I'm very happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I did mine both sides and couldn’t believe how easy it was - I should have done it years ago ! The Bearmach MUC 1005 is actually rubber - and isn’t a channel - but has a flat side and a curved side, so it folds to sit inside. I bought two, but then realised there is enough length in one piece for both windows..... So it’s £1.75 plus VAT - the issue is postage; 6.25 plus VAT from Bearmach direct, though you can roll other purchases up into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
