Re: cr laurence slider pics?
If itīs just the felt that is the problem you can pull the window apart and replace it. Mine was dried out and came out in pieces everytime I opened the window. I found a rubber U-chanel at the local glass shop. Itīs sold per feet, so you just buy what you think you need and cut it to the right lenght.I also bought a lenght of J-shaped rubber for the "scraper" at the top and bottom of the window, this one was a litle thin so it did not hold on that well when placed in the aluminium frame, but a little rubber sealant on the side of it fixed that problem.
The only thing I regret not doing was to replace the window seal itself, I reused the old one because it was not torn or broken, but it was a PITA to install. I stuck the window in a drying cabin for an hour and heated it up to get the seal to soften up. It made things easyer, but a new seal would have been much better.
With a new chrome lockstrip installed it looks quite good.
Here are some pictures (sorry for the bad quality) of what I did.
