Suggestions for cleaning rear slider glass channel?
The glass channels on my rear slider need to be cleaned.
They're in good shape but are just dirty. I haven't installed the window yet so I can move it around however I need to. Will a good soaking with a household cleaner work to loosen the ground in dirt? Followed by spraying it out with a pressure washer? Will I tear up the channel if I do it this way? |

Get a old tooth brush and soak the area good with soap and warm water then scrub away!
You coming up to Mrytle beach for the show in March?

x 2 on what Andy posted. Warm soapy water and a nylon brush/tooth brush should do the trick. if its really caked up in it, as mine was, it even had moss growing in it, before you get to the brushing stage, a old Popsicle stick works good to dig out the old crud, again use soapy water with it too.

I have use air but you have to use really low pressure or you will blow the felt out, especially if it is a little rotten. I tried the toothbrush as the others suggested and it worked OK. I had to grind it down some because it wouldn't fit in the channel. LockDoc
