Title: Split Window Door Glass Channels Post by: Dave Galassi on March 17, 2009, 20:31:26 pm Has anyone recently replaced the door glass channel felts on a split? I'd love to know where they got them and if they fit well. Thanks.

Nice thing is that he tests them out thoroughly first.

Hope this helps! :) Title: Re: Split Window Door Glass Channels Post by: Dave Galassi on March 25, 2009, 14:08:33 pm Hey Neil, thanks a bunch! It looks like a tough job to do. I had what were thought to be NOS felts, but they don't follow the contour of the glass or door well at all. Thank goodness it's not a 100 point restoration car!
Again, I really appreciate the tip! |
