Wing window
I am currently replacing the window felt, outside seal and window tracks. No issues so far, except the wing window track. I pulled out the wing window to replace the track as everything it’s original. When I pulled the track out, it was glued in there from the factory. There is left over window track (Looks like it was some type of carpetish material) and some harder glue. Anyone have a recommendation on how to clean out that area? See picture as a reference. If you need more pictures let me know.

Usually it will pull out if you can get one end started. I have also run a utility knife down the sides between the metal and seal and then use a wide blade screwdriver or gasket scraper to scrape the seal from the bottom of the channel. remember to keep your hands above the knife blade when you are cutting along the sides..... ![]() .

Re: Wing window
What brand of felt do you have. I'm about to do the same thing and have Precision Brand felts.

I took it all apart, and moved the felt down to the bottom of the track, hoping it would help. The new problem I found, it’s the felt insert is too tight form the window frame at the bottom and it drags a lot. The dragging still makes it really difficult to roll up the window. Im looking at other brands, more specifically the below brand. Not sure yet, still doing research. https://www.steelerubber.com/automotive |

Re: Wing window
I have found that sometimes the metal piece that is attached to the bottom edge of the main door glass can snag on the felt as the window is rolled up. Filing the front corners round on this metal piece helps considerably.
