Thread: Cab rear sliding window felt?

A few yrs. ago I bought some felt from I think a trimming place, paid $20 or so. Just ring around. Then took the complete rear window out. I had the tray off so could access it. Still a merde of a job putting all the pop rivets in & sealing it, but it worked a treat. I could then hear the old 200 rattling along. If I was to try it again I really would try to slide it in using the glass as a 'tool' to feed it along the track.

The tool isn't expensive Auto Windshield Window Glass 90? Double Ended Swivel TIP Locking Seal Strip Tool | eBay

I made one years ago out of a piece of a wire coathanger & an old file handle but I'll probably buy the correct tool next time.

Here is an option: Garrison Outfitters

If that doesn't work, they (Garrison Outfitters) also sells through MudStuff.

I replaced mine on my defender recently. Went to spotlight and bought half a meter of felt cut it into strips and fitted it. under $20.00 I recall easy to do.

After I pressure washed the rear window to remove all of the crud they promptly fell out. Clarke rubber had two sizes of channel rubber called flocked Chanel rubber

Bazzle, how did you replace it? Just slide it under the glass?

The main reason I bought new felt was that the guy told me that most people who used felt from spotlight were back in a few months......!

Well I replaced the felt; used welding wire to pull it under the glass and was not difficult. No need to remove the window which would have been a big job for so simple a fix. Thank goodness no rattles and slides well. Only needed one roll of the stuff, will try to return the other roll given it's $110!. (I see you can buy the same from the UK for $40+postage.)
