Thank you. I was able to add the new felt track to the wing window. However, the after market one, stops short of going all the way to the bottom. When the window is rolled all the way down, the metal frame that the window attaches to goes below the window felt and into all call it the “Void”. When I try to roll the window back up, the metal frame catches on the beginning part of the felt track and does not roll up properly and I’ll have to use my hand. Not great, so out comes the wing window, to either slide the felt track down more, which potentially creates a void up top, possibly causing wind noise. The more I think about it as I type this, I’ll slide it down and see what happens. I rarely drive the truck on the truck for any long distances so if there is wind noise the I can live with it.

Any thoughts?
