Ridgeback Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hello I am going over my 90 fixing some of the little bits that I have never got round to doing and this included fixing the rear sliding window rattles. Does anyone know if the felt channel is available and who might sell some. I use the windows so can't just seal them up to fix the problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I used one of the ones from here http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-290-single-track.aspx I think it was this one http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1649-window-channel.aspx It is possible to replace the felt without removing the glass, but it takes a lot of wiggling and poking to get it to slide around the channel.

Ridgeback Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks guys Going to clean up all the stuff that's also growing in the current window runners before putting the new stuff in . Do the frames have to be removed to get the glass out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yep, frames have to be removed to remove glass which means drilling out all the rivets holding the frame to the bodywork and once removed you have to then attempting to undo the screws that hold the two halves of the frame together. You can however replace the track carefully without removing the glass, dig all the old rubbish out then slide the new track in ( you will have to remove the window lock) . It requires a lot of sliding back and forth of the window to encourage the track to go around but it does work. I have done both methods (ie glass and frame out method and the leave it all in and wiggle it about method) and I'd do the wiggle method if I have the choice. The reason I did the window out method as well as the wiggle method is one side had a broken window so had to come out anyway, so I did one of each and the wiggle was quicker.

Ridgeback Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for the info, think I will go with the wiggle it option then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I used the Woolies Trim channel recently and still have a rattle. I think it's iether the lock itself or the bottom plastic channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
